In 2019 the Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD) celebrates its tenth anniversary. Since 2010 the ACYD has developed into a community of 300 Australian and Greater Chinese young leaders from a range of backgrounds. Increasingly, members of the ACYD community are moving into positions of influence across all sectors of society in Australia and China. As they do so, it is the hope of the ACYD team that they will continue to be active, visible and constructive figures in Australia and Greater China affairs.

We hope you enjoy the memories shared in this book.

Learning, analysing, and reflecting on the many vitally important issues concerning the future of mankind with a group of the best minds and souls from Australia and Greater China over four days is an experience parallel to none, and joining the wonderful ACYD alumni network is a great privilege with which come great opportunities and responsibilities for the further improvement of the Australia-China relations. The success of the ACYD is vivid evidence that sincere, constructive, and inspiring discussions can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and determination, even in a world which is increasingly influenced by the toxic politics of unilateralism and ultra-nationalism. I would unreservedly recommend the ACYD to all Australian and Chinese young professionals and emerging leaders who believe in the mission of making our world a better place.
