The line graph illustrates the proportion of Australian exports to four nations including Japan, the US, China, and India between 1990 and 2012.
It can be seen that an upward trend was observed for China and India. While, the US and Japan presented a downward trend during the period stated in question.
According to the graph, Japan and the US have been trading with Australia since the beginning of the period. Japan occupied the highest proportion at over 25%, followed by the US at approximately 17% in 1995. However, the figure for both nations decreased steadily in the following years. Japan dropped from over 25% to 20% in 1995 and did not get any higher until the end of the period, along with the US which reduced from about 17% to just under 10% in 1995 and faced some fluctuation between 1995 and 2000 and later came across the same situation as Japan in the next years.
On the other hand, China and India which started at only about 3% and 2% respectively, gradually rose from 2000. China considerably increased and peaked at 30% in the last year. As well as India has risen continuously and peaked at over 5% in 2012 despite some fluctuations at the end of the period.
