SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S WINE INDUSTRY WILL BE HIT ...

China’s anti-dumping investigation into Australian wine exports will provide a substantial impact on South Australia’s export performance and more importantly our world class wine industry. South Australian wine exports to China make up around 30% of SA’s exports to China, and just under 10% of SA’s global exports. This threat of an anti-dumping finding against the Australian wine industry has vastly more impact on the South Australian economy than the previously announced restrictions on barley and beef.

THE CHANGING EDUCATION DEMANDS OF CHINA

THE CHANGING EDUCATION DEMANDS OF CHINA

International students have an overwhelming positive economic impact on Australian cities, and particularly inner city urban development, and vibrancy. Economic analysis in recent years has suggested that international students have an annual economic impact of $17.5 billion on the Australian economy. There has consequently been considerable discussion about expanding international student numbers and attracting more students to Australian institutions.  

This is a good story of Australia’s position as an education destination of choice for Chinese students, however they may demonstrate a emerging challenge for the Australian education industry to continue to reap the economic benefits of Chinese students in Australia. This leads to an important question about whether Australia, and its key government and institutional stakeholders in the education sector are effectively approaching market capacity in what can realistically be achieved from Chinese students to Australia. Does Australia and its education institutions need to look at adapting its engagement model with China to train more students?
