After the Pandemic: From rain to sunshine — understanding China-Australia relations

“After the Pandemic” is an upbeat, realistic, and innovative documentary series that takes a deep dive into the enormous opportunities awaiting businesses and entrepreneurs in Australia and China in a post-COVID world.

The five episodes focus on the economic recovery along with ongoing developments in the areas of trade and investment in both countries as well as throughout the wider Asia-Pacific region. In the second episode, host Tim Harcourt interviewed the “Daigou Queen,” Livia Wang, who has built up a booming business with a turnover of one billion dollars over the past four years. She believes that each country has its own unique characteristics and individual potential to grow. Tim also talked with James Laurences, the director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology in Sydney. James stated that there are a lot of opportunities and a large scope for cooperation that Australia and China can continue to take advantage of moving forward. “Cooperation rather than competition is the name of the game,” both emphasized.
