Community and cultural links play a vital role in the Australia-China relationship. Chinese migration started in the middle of the 19th century and Mandarin is now the second most spoken language in Australia after English. Chinese Australians have contributed significantly to the development of Australia and also foster people-to-people links with China. In addition to immigration, education, trade and tourism also bolster these links.
Australian residents identifying themselves as having Chinese ancestry at the 2016 census numbered 1,213,903.
