Dragons Tail does its best to draw a linebetween the continued economic growth andprosperity in his home country and the continuedeconomic growth of the China, the worlds fastestgrowing economy

Australia is in prime position, says Andrew Charlton, to take advantage of theincreased wealth the region has recently experienced. Similar industries in bothAustralia and China have recently celebrated remarkable prosperity and growth,and the progress of both nations is tied together in many ways that can only beenhanced through the strengthening of connections and an increase in trade formany years into the foreseeable future. Charlton views the economic relationshipbetween the two nations as vital to the economic prosperity of both, as well aspotentially serving as a glowing economic model for other nations to follow.
