07.01.2022 ACFEA celebrates Chinese New Year with the community. ACFEA Australia China Friendship and Exchange Association joined Australian Chinese Charity Foundation Inc. and the NSW Chinese community to celebrate Chinese New Year. Guests of honour at the event included NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Mark Coure MP, Federal Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs David Coleman, and the NSW Leader of the Opposition Michael Daley.... ACFEA was represented at the event by Board Members Dr. Frank Alafaci and Mr. Guy Elron, and Chief Executive Officer, Michael W Harkins. Reflecting on the successful multicultural society that Australia is renowned for, Mr. Harkins wished the NSW Chinese Community, and all Australians, a happy and prosperous New Year. This year we celebrate the Year of the Pig. We are blessed to live in this country of freedom, democracy and prosperity. Australia is without a doubt, one of the most successful multicultural societies in the world. It is important that we dont forget the need to guard that society, and the freedom, democracy and multicultural values that we are so proud of and which has been built over hundreds of years. We should cherish our Australian values, and ensure they continue to be passed on from generation to generation. On behalf of the ACFEA, Gong Xi Fa Choi and a happy new year to all. The ACFEA was the Platinum Sponsor of the ACCF Chinese New Year event and Mr. Harkins congratulated the ACCF for their important work in the community.

07.01.2022 ACSME Event Win in China: How to tap into the Chinese market for growth On Wednesday the 17th of July 2019, the Win in China: How to tap into the Chinese market for growth event featuring Bo Ji, Assistant Dean at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, was held at Haymarket HQ. This event was hosted by the Australia China SME Association (ACSME) and attendees were given a unique opportunity to learn about Chinas business environment. The key take-outs of this event we...re: 1. Dont fear China. Its a large and important market with a strong interest in foreign technology, products and services and this is the perfect time to make your move. Dont be put off by what you read, hear or see! Australia is well positioned to take advantage. 2. Most companies fail in China because they dont do their research or are unwilling to localise their product or service proposition. Walmart is a good example. Be aware of cultural differences, consumer behaviour and local success factors. 3. The Chinese are relationship-driven in their decision-making. Sometimes they do business with people they like and trust even if the product or service offered is inferior to other options. Always put the relationship first. 4. Hire Chinese talent. One quarter of the worlds STEM (scientists, technologies, engineers and mathematicians) are Chinese. This STEM workforce is already 8 times larger than the US and growing 6 times as fast. 5. Four Steps to achieving miraculous growth in China: - Understand the Chinese consumer - Establish a local team (e.g. STEM) with strong execution capabilities, local understanding and hard work - Develop the right channel strategy (e-commerce, distribution, franchise etc.) - Create an effective marketing strategy 6. Cultural differences are important to observe and respect. Just because their way doesnt seem to fit your way of doing things, dont write them off as unprofessional or chaotic. Think about the advantages of their approach. Theyve been doing business the same way for thousands of years. They cant all be wrong! 7. Australia has never done anything to harm or upset China. This puts us in a unique position of trust and respect. Make the most of this!
