Abstract

'Queensland has what China wants.’1 That statement, taken from a 2018 Deloitte Access Economics report on the China–Queensland relationship, points to the underlying realities driving both parties’ pursuit of deeper relations. While Chinese communities in Queensland can be traced back to pre-federation times, official engagement between the two governments began in the 1970s. Queensland’s early interactions with counterparts in the PRC were slow and challenging but were cultivated by political leaders (across both sides of the political divide), industry, municipal governments, universities and academics. A proliferation of interactions over the past two decades has positioned China as Queensland’s most significant international partner.
