Rural Migrant Labour in Large Chinese Cities

中国在全球，特别是在亚太地区的经济和政治意义怎么夸大都不为过。作为澳大利亚的贸易伙伴、移民和游客来源国，以及澳大利亚在该地区的影响力，中国对澳大利亚的重要性正在迅速提升。中国城市的快速发展是其显著的社会和经济发展的关键因素，深入了解这一点将有助于澳大利亚加强与中国的经济、社会和政治联系。它还将发展澳大利亚在中国研究方面的能力，并与中国建立牢固的学术联系。

China's economic and political significance globally, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, can hardly be exaggerated. China is increasing rapidly in its importance to Australia as a trading partner, source of immigrants and tourists and as a power in Australia's region of influence. The rapid growth of Chinese cities is a critical element in its striking social and economic development and a deeper understanding of this will contribute to Australia enhancing economic, social and political linkages with China. It also will develop Australian capacity with respect to Chinese research and develop strong academic linkages with China.
