Sean’s presentation hit on a number of subjects including why we should be doing business in China, the size of the China market, our sister state Shandong, our roadblocks that we will face, as well as the opportunities that are given to small business engaging with the China market. Finally he also presented the new Australia China Business Platform and explained why small businesses should make the effort to get onto it.
