The line graph illustrates the percentage of goods exported from Australia to four countries during the time period from 1990 to 2012. Overall, one can see that while trading opportunities with China continue to expand, sells to the other countries either go down or only increase slightly.
Regarding China, fraction of items sold to this country was one of the lowest in 1990, making around 3% of the entire picture. Nevertheless, after a moderate rise from 1990 to 2000, the line saw an abrupt growth resulting in an overall amount of goods sent to be almost a quarter. Moreover, export to China happened to be the most profitable in 2012, being much higher than to the other countries. Percentage of products transeffed to India also rose from approximately 2% in 1990 to around 6% in 2012. The increase is not that drastic due to a slight drop in export after the peak in 2010.
As the graph provides, fraction of goods sent to Japan saw a sharp dip from more than 25% in 1990 to 20% in 1995. After this year, a decline continued more marginally, resulting in around 17% of items being exported to this country in 2012.
Finally, trade with the US experienced fluctuations over time, as after dramatic decrease in 1995 the percentage went back to around 12% in 2000. After these changes, an overall trend appears to be negative, making slightly higher than 5% of sells in 2012.
To summarise, one can conclude that trade with India and US are both quite low due to fluctuations continuing during the 22-year period, while sellings to Japan continually drop over the years. Regarding China, this country started buying significantly more goods from Australia, making up almost one third of its overall sells.
