SYDNEY - Australia’s economy, facing its first recession in 30 years because of the coronavirus, would suffer if Chinese students heeded a warning from their government to stay away because of racist incidents, Australia’s trade minister said on Wednesday.
China is Australia’s most important trading partner and sends the most international students, accounting for 37.3% of 442,209 overseas students in higher education in 2019, according to Department of Education data. Birmingham said it would also be a loss for Chinese students and in the long term “would do nothing to help further the mutual understanding between our two nations”.
Ties have been under more strain since Australia called for an international enquiry into the origins of the novel coronavirus. However, there has been domestic criticism that the university sector is too reliant on student fees from one country.

Australia will be better without Chinese in the long run.
They won’t . China’s education system doesn’t get close to western standards on virtually all levels.
Maybe the vice-chancellors could pay themselves less than a couple of million dollars every year?
Don't bite the finger that feeds you.
American taxpayers can subsidize all losses in Australia as long as it is obedient enough.
Nothing will be happen indian student is ready to go their
just the incompetent Payne n Birmingham that we get to this low ebb They dont know diplomacy
That is also their choice. Leave Aussie alone. Why do Reuters keep encouraging them to be wrong?🤔
Australia is US attack dog
Nothing good comes from chinese viruses
Realistically, Australia only wants chinese money not chinese people. International students is the way to achieve this.
Sun rises in east, tide goes in then out, water flows odd duck’s back
Yes, EVERYTHING MUST BE SACRIFICED FOR THE GDP. Who cares if Westerners are completely replaced by Asians and Africans?!?! AT LEAST THE GDP WENT UP.
Do they pay taxes there? They don’t in Canada. Just occupy multimillion dollar homes and drive supercars while claiming to be starving students.
More Australia would be able to get into degrees.
An economy that rests on Chinese students is not an economy
Economy? The students is that powerful?
Intelligence & knowledge would suffer if “China students” stay away, education is by definition cosmopolitan, not just global, universal.
That's sad! a whole country's economy relies on foreign students .
The fact is: Australian economy never only relied on Chinese students. There will be some impacts to the Universities, but Aussies have lived a good life long before these Chinese students come to Australia.
Australia should boost the number of students from other countries to offset the loss. It’s high time to decouple from China.
Invest the money back to CSIRO and create an opportunity for the future Australian.
But Australian national security would soar.
As always, Chinese Yuan smells good. Never doubt it.
Chinese economy will suffer if world decides to keep away from Chinese goods, and that's the call of the day! The country which doesn't have respect for human lives should be shunned!
Maybe we get more students from the othef 4 eyes to backfill ... SenatorWong MikeSmithAFR seriously what went so wrong the past few years FinancialReview
I guess those Crocodile Dundee residuals haven’t really kept up with inflation
is this a propoganda or a conclusion? or a quote.
Does the CCP control Reuters? Seems so.
Or we could simply delegate those positions to international students from countries that aren’t China.
I mean fuck em, but too bad--that chick is hot
Choose between money n life , it always difficult , but it's up to the leaders
