The line graph illustrates the proportion of exports from Australia to four different nations over a period of 22 years starting from 1990.
Overall, the percentage of Australian exports to China and India increased, while this rate to US and Japan decreased over the period.
The figure for the proportion of Australian goods exported to China started at just about 2.5% in 1990, then rose slightly to 5% in 2000, before grew dramatically to around 27% in 2010 and reached a peak of 30% in 2012. Next, the import percentage of India remained unchanged from 1990 to 1995 with only 1%, after which it increased gradually to approximately 8% in 2010 and dropped to 6% in 2012.
Conversely, Japan saw a significant reduction in the rate of Australian exports from almost 27% in 1990 to 20% in 1995. This figure fell minimally to roughly 18% in 2012.
Besides, the value of exports from Australia to the US accounted for about 12% of the total in 1990, then declined to around 9% in 1995. Eventually, the percentile of Australian goods exported went up in the region of 12% and reduced steadily to approximately 7% in the last year of the period.
