The two demographics that I have chosen to compare are Burma and China. Burma and China both come from either ASEAN or APEC and I am going to compare the two on aid, defence, migration and trade. (Maps are on the last few pages) The Australian Government, through the Australian Agency for International Development, has provided almost 30 years of development assistance to China. AusAID continues to work in partnership with China to build on these achievements and provide expertise to help China in its development reform agenda.
Australia assists China with aid for environment and health. With the rapid growth and development of China in the recent decades has caused severe environmental problems. Constant demand of the natural resources to bring about rapid industrialisation and urbanisation has led to high levels of pollution, ecological degradation and water shortages. Over the past decade Australia has set up a forefront of aid operations to deal with this situation and of the 7 projects so far from 2002-2008 a total of 5 have been completed with Australia donating $2. 8 million towards water entitlements and trading activity, $12. 25 million to the Qinghai forestry resources management, $9. 1 million to Kars environmental rehabilitation and $14. 9 million has gone towards the water and agricultural management in Hubei. All of these environmental projects have added up to Australia donating a staggering $38. 32 million dollars to aid the environment in the industrialised areas of China. In terms of medical AusAID has completed 1 of its two projects in the past 8 years. Australia donated a total of $19. million to the Tibet health sector support program which was completed in 2010 and in the fight against HIV AIDS we have donated a humungous $25 million to the cause. Aid in Burma is much like China in the way that we help. Australia supports Burma with health aid, Sustainable economic development, Saving lives, Promoting opportunities for all, Humanitarian and disaster response and Effective governance. With all of these aid categories we can define that Australia in reality is providing more aid to assist with the health and growth of Burma more so than China.
The Essay on The Education in China and Australia
The education in China and Australia has different kinds of system. They share many similarities in students studying, such as the system structure, the study atmosphere, and the educational policy. However, there are also a few differences between these two countries. First of all, the structure in China and Australia has some similarities and differences. It is similar that both of these two ...
For the years 2012-2013 Australia is estimating to spend a total of $63. 8 million, divided up into the different categories. To put this into comparison, AusAID spent a grand total of 82 million dollars on both health and environment aid to china with our contribution in Burma sitting at $63. 8 million. China is significantly larger than Burma in population and size of country so is it right that we are handing them at least $19 million more than Burma when China is also the leading exporters in the world with almost the world’s entire manufacturing taking place on their shores?
Should Australia really need to provide aid to Australia except for under the circumstances of a natural disaster or an attack of any sort? This leads into my next comparison of military. Although there have been wars in the past, the military relationship with Australia and China couldn’t be better right now with things sailing smoother than ever before. This year Australia marks 40 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Australia and the People’s Republic of China. Over that time, our military to military and defence to defence relationship is growing from strength to strength.
Nonetheless, Australia consistently expressed concerns over Burma’s human rights record and delivered humanitarian aid. The Australian Government maintains an embassy in the former capital and commercial centre of Rangoon (Yangon).

For over 30 years, UNFPA's contribution has successfully borne fruit as the organization's overall vision and framework fitted well with the mission and principles of the ...
Australia maintains a longstanding ban on defence exports to Burma. On 7 June 2012, Senator Carr announced that Australia would lift its autonomous travel and financial sanctions on Burma, in order to lend further support to the reforms underway. This took effect on 3 July 2012. Migration to Australia has been a problem for a lot longer than I have been alive, Chinese migration has been around for almost 200 years.
In 2006 a census was taken and that 221,995 people (5. 39%) in Sydney reported Mandarin or Cantonese as the language they used at home. Today Chinese communities form a vibrant and important part of Sydney’s character. Since the 1990’s the rate of Chinese immigration has risen to become the third largest group among our immigrants. Since the mid-1990s, migration has become less permanent than it used to be, and goes in more than direction, a trend that pertains also to the Chinese. Students and academics are examples of this pattern.
In 1990, Chinese settlers rarely returned permanently, but by 2002, the number of Hong Kong settlers leaving Australia for good equalled those arriving during that year. When the Chinese first began immigrating to Australia it wasn’t the easiest times for them to be here with the white Australia policy and all of the racism, even today there is still racial slur to the amount of Chinese and Asian people in our country. Although this is the case it has slowly improved to become an easier place for them to live. The 2006 census records almost 1800 Burma-born immigrants in Victoria, but even larger numbers have arrived since then.
The Burma-born population is composed of many ethnic groups with their own dialects, beliefs and customs. In 2006 40% spoke Burmese at home, followed by 28% English, 13% Karen and 10% Chinese. Even though the cast majority is Christian, 28% are Buddhist. The Burma-born population have settled in outstanding numbers in the local government areas of Greater Dandenong, Wyndham, Hobson’s Bay and Whitehorse. The population is a relatively young crowd with almost 60% under the age of 45. Of those who are employed, 36% of them are employed in managerial, professional and associated roles and a further 20% work as labourers.
