Abstract Although Australia and China have very different political, economic systems and cultural traditions, Chinese culture is seeking ways to go global while Australia is becoming increasingly Asian. After entering digital era, the two countries have extensive interaction in cultural industries such as cultural innovation (mostly in film and TV industry) and technology (mostly in digital startups). In cultural innovation, China and Australia have creative output and interaction in films and on television. With traditional media and cultural forms turning into digital service, the two countries can use social media analysis to assess the relative success and failure of media investment. In the field of digital technology, the Australian government and entrepreneurs realize Chinese government supports the digital revolution happening in China and embraces the innovation of science and technology. More and more digital start-ups in Australia begin turning to Chinese market for development. The integration of culture and technology provides more opportunities for Chinese culture to go global, while in Australia, people get in touch with Chinese culture through online platforms, and Chinese in Australia have played an important role as a bridge between the two cultures.
