The growth of trade and economic ties between China and Australia is primed to explode, as Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull arrived in Beijing, along with business leaders and politicians. They're hoping to promote their country as a prime destination for investment, tourism and education. CCTV's Hou Na reports.

A delegation of more than 1,000 Australian business people constituted the country’s “largest ever trade mission” to China. The visit comes hard on the heels of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement, which came into force last December.

In the Chinese capital, the health and elderly care industry is where their special focus is trained. Ageing populations around the world are creating new opportunities and challenges for governments, healthcare systems, social services and cultural traditions.

According to China-Australia Free Trade Agreement, for health and aged care services, China will permit Australian service suppliers to establish profit-making aged care institutions throughout China, and wholly Australian-owned hospitals in certain provinces.
