One of the biggest Chinese Trade Delegations to visit Australia, since the signing of the historic China Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA), is due to arrive in Sydney later this month. Nearly 100 participants, including government officials and private business owners, will take part in the visit.
The delegation will be officially welcomed by NSW Premier Mike Baird on the 25 May 2015, before the opening of a two day trade expo at the Hordern Pavilion, Moore Park, Sydney. The Expo will feature over 1,000 products and nearly 70 manufacturers from the city of Huizhou in China’s most prosperous province Guangdong.
Huizhou Products Expo coordinator, Cindy Xin of Ausfeng Events, says the free event is a great opportunity for Australian companies to learn more about dealing with China at a business-to-business level. Xin says, “The key to a successful business relationship in China is personal contact. There is no substitute for meeting face-to-face with your Chinese business partners and there is no greater guarantee in getting the best prices and the best service from suppliers.
“The Huizhou Products Expo will feature some of the latest products and designs across a wide range of manufacturers, this gives Australian businesses a great opportunity to meet with potential suppliers and gain a great insight into doing business with China.”
Products on display include:
- LED TVs
- LED Lighting
- Blue Tooth Speakers and Conference Communication Products
- Mobile Phone Accessories
- Consumer Satellite Navigation Systems
- Automotive Video and Security Systems
- Solar Panels and Power Banks
- IT and Telecommunications Equipment

With a population of 5 million Huizhou is located just outside Guangzhou the capital of Guangdong Province. There are direct flights to Guangzhou seven days per week from Sydney and four other Australian cities. Guangzhou and Sydney have been sister cities since 1986 and the New South Wales government has a permanent trade office in Guangzhou.
Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Philips, Samsung, LG, Sony, Alcan and Toyota are among more than 30 Fortune 500 companies with operations in Huizhou.
