Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Chinese President Xi Jinping will sign a free trade agreement on 17 November 2014, after a decade of negotiations. It is believed that tariffs on about 85 per cent of Australian exports to China will be scrapped when the deal commences, rising to 93 per cent in the next four years. Service industries in particular are set to benefit from the deal, including law firms, tourism operators, financial services providers and health care groups
