This would make sense; we're geographically closer to China than any other Western nation (unless you count Russia ) so it's best for us if we're able to make a mint from their economic growth. Not sure about how this'll turn out for us in the future though.

There were conspiracy theories Turnbull was soft on China because his daughter in law comes from over there XD

thanks for that explanation

so it looks like your central bank might cut interest rates in june to stimulate what appears to be your momentarily weakening economy?
