Group 2: Future Directions and Opportunities - Future cooperation should focus on enhancing the FTA to meet evolving needs, ensuring it continues to serve both countries' enterprises and consumers effectively [7]. - There is a call for the FTA to evolve from traditional trade in agricultural and mineral products to include sectors such as digital economy, green technology, and new trade rules [8][9]. - The potential for collaboration in areas like clean energy, healthcare, and digital economy is highlighted as key opportunities for the next decade [8]. - The establishment of a robust framework for digital trade and cross-border data flow is essential, leveraging Australia's mature digital regulatory framework and China's extensive platform economy [9].
