China is a major global economic power and an essential trading partner for Australia. In 2006 China became Australia's second largest trading partner and there is currently a Free Trade Agreement being negotiated between the two countries. Australia currently exports agricultural products, raw materials, minerals, manufacturing materials and services (including education) to China. With China's enormous consumer market and the growing middle class it will continue to increase its significance to Australia.
Mandarin as a spoken language has a simple structure, and it uses tones to give different meanings to word. Chinese character writing is governed by rules which can be easily learned: it is challenging but rewarding. Learning the language is a window into understanding Chinese culture and the Chinese way of life.
