The organization emphasizes its cultural role in building connections between the PRC and Australia, though associations raise questions, including a visit between Yu Junwu (余俊武), chairman of the Sydney arts troupe, and United Front Work Department (UFWD) director Liu Yandong (刘延东), and a meeting between the association’s leadership and UFWD Minister You Lantian (尤兰田部长).

They read: “The Association aims to promote and strengthen economic and commercial relations between the Portuguese Republic and the People’s Republic of China, and the integration of companies and institutions from both countries, on a basis of mutual interest.” However, the chamber routinely runs official coverage from state media, including Xinhua, which presents an optimistic and favorable perspective on trade and business developments.
