The 2025 is the 10th anniversary of china-australia free trade agreement signed, Australia is a crucial supplier of energy and resources to China. After experiencing setbacks, the economic and trade relations between Australia and China are moving towards 'thawing' and ‘recovery’. However, in international business negotiations, cultural differences between two countries are reflected. This paper uses Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory and Hall's model to systematically analyze the cultural differences between China and Australia in terms of individualism, power distance and uncertainty avoidance. It is concluded that Australia is a country with low power distance, individualism, short-termism, indulging and low context, which are significantly different from China in these five aspects. Based on this difference, the two countries should respect cultural differences and adhere to the principle of sincerity in business negotiations.
