The first chart below shows the value of goods that Australia imported from 
China and those exported to China from Australia. The second chart shows the types 
of goods imported from China. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting 
the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. 
The given column graphs provide some detailed information about the importation and 
exportation of goods between Australia and China. It is clear from the graph that Australia 
imported more things from China than it exported. 
Australia imported goods worth $20 billion in 1998. The imports increased steadily and 
reached $40 billion by 2006. In contrast, the exports to China were worth 10 billion dollars in 
1998, but the exports grew rapidly and reached $30 billion dollars by 2006. 
In 2003, approximately $5 billion dollars worth of computers and furniture each were 
imported from China. $4 billion of clothes were imported from China. Telecommunication 
equipment imports accounted for $3 billion. The least imports were of toys and sports 
equipment, which were of the value of $2 billion.
In 2004, imports of all things increased, except for clothes, which remained the same. There 
was a slight increase of $1 million in the import of computers and furniture. The greatest 
change can be seen in the import of toys/sport equipment and telecommunications 
equipment, which grew from $2 and $3 billion in 2003 to $7 and $8 billion respectively in 
2004.
Overall, toys/sports and telecommunication equipment saw a huge surge in imports to 
Australia from China in just one year.
