Some thoughts on Japan, Australia and then China (February 22, 2012)

It may seem odd for JETRO Sydney, an Australia-Japan business trade organisation, to get concerned about Chinese economic growth. However, we have very natural reasons to be interested in China.
The Australian Government always says that Chinese economic growth is solid and the Australian economy, therefore, is in good shape. This line of thinking is shared by Japanese companies here in Australia.
Japan has been investing in Australia significantly for many years, with ABS figures showing Japan accounting for 10.4% of Australian inward FDI on an accumulation basis at the end of 2010. Japan is Australia’s third largest source of FDI, following the US and UK.

SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIA-JAPAN RELATIONSHIP (February 22, 2012)

As China’s regional influence has grown in recent years some have asked if Australia is taking its relationship with Japan for granted. [1] Although the media continues to focus on China’s importance to Australia, several recent studies have observed that the view that the significance of the Australia –Japan relationship is declining is wrong. The relationship is becoming increasingly more diverse and both governments are committed to further strengthening the bilateral ties. [2] Comments that more recently the politico-security dimension of the relationship has come to the fore and uncertainty over the current security environment is leading both governments to expand the relationship beyond the traditional trade and investment base seem to ignore the fact that the relationship is already known for its diversity. [3] The most common theme for any examination of the Australia-Japan relationship is the significance of past imports, exports and investment.
