Australia, China deepen ties with landmark free trade deal
Canberra
CHINA and Australia on Monday sealed a landmark free trade agreement more than a decade in the making, significantly expanding ties between the world's second-largest economy and one of Washington's closest allies in Asia.
The deal, which Australia called the best ever between Beijing and a Western country, will open up Chinese markets to Australian farm exporters and the services sector while easing curbs on Chinese investment in resource-rich Australia.
