China has become Australia 's largest market for publishers with more contracts for Australian works published with Chinese publishers than in the UK or overseas . Australian ambassador Jan ##eson said that over the past 10 years there have been increasing numbers of Australian authors visiting China to " share their stories with Chinese audiences and celebrate contemporary Australian literature " . In the 13 years to 2015 , around 300 Australian titles were translated into Chinese , while from 1981 to 2015 that figure was only 15 .
