China's currency devaluation continues to impact economies around the world including Australia. While the country's struggling share market dipped even further.Some economists say the lower yuan will help boost some sectors of the Aussie economy. CCTV's Greg Navarro filed this report from Sydney.

More details:

  • Australia’s mining sector has struggled for months due to an increase in supply, and a decrease in demand, from its biggest export destination: China.
  • The lower yuan has pushed the Australia dollar to a 6 year low this week. And it’s expected to slow foreign investment in the country’s property market, especially from Chinese buyers who will now find property more expensive.
