China and Australia are mutually vital economic and trade partners. Facing the evolution of international trade rules and the wave of digital economic development, bilateral trade relations are entering a new stage of development. This paper systematically reviews recent policy adjustments by Australia in key areas such as tax compliance and industrial layout, and analyzes the interactive trends in China-Australia trade policies. On this basis, it focuses on the profound reshaping of trade patterns by the digital economy, explores the potential of cross-border e-commerce and digital trade as new growth engines, and analyzes the governance challenges they bring, such as tax coordination and data privacy. Finally, combining the current international situation, especially the multiple backgrounds of digital transformation and tariff barriers, it objectively evaluates the resilience of China-Australia economic and trade relations and looks ahead to their strategic direction. The study shows that China-Australia trade is evolving from the traditional resource complementarity model to a diversified and digitalized new form. How both sides jointly cope with the pain of transformation and coordinate policies to overcome external challenges will be the key to determining the future level of their relationship.
