China ...Chinese government work report sends encouraging signals to Australia: media
YDNEY, March 6 (Xinhua) Australian media have devoted much coverage to the Chinese government work report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang to the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC) on Sunday, stressing that China's sustained growth will benefit Australia. The Australian Financial Review (AFR), Australia's Number One financial newspaper, Monday had a front page feature, as well as stories throughout, highlighting the policy direction China will be taking in economical development, national defense and foreign affairs. On the front page under the banner headline of "China stays on growth path," the writers of the story, Angus Grigg and Lisa Murray, said China's plan to increase spending on infrastructure will benefit Australian mining companies. "The confirmation that China was largely sticking to the economic growth script, and putting off any drastic, and potentially destabilizing, reforms will be interpreted as good news for Australian exporters of iron ore and coal," they said. In one of the other AFR pieces, Grigg said that the Chinese government work report with its focus on "stability" will ensure that growth remains constant in China, defying expectations by some that this would not be the case, and providing a boon for the Australian economy.
