<entity_1>, often known as the Sino-Australian relations, refers to the relations between <entity_3> and China. <entity_3> continued to recognise the Republic of China (ROC) government after it lost the Chinese Civil War and retreated to Taiwan in 1949, but switched recognition to the <entity_0> (PRC) on 21 December 1972. After the establishment of the <entity_0> ("PRC") in 1949 and the retreat of the Republic of China ("ROC") government to Taiwan, <entity_3> did not recognise the PRC. As opposition leader, Gough Whitlam visited China in 1971 (before Henry Kissinger's historic visit on behalf of the United States), and in December 1972, after Whitlam's victory in that year's federal election, <entity_3> established diplomatic relations with the <entity_0>, and <entity_3> ceased to recognise the Republic of China government of Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan. Stephen Fitzgerald became the first Australian ambassador to the <entity_0>, and Wang Guoquan was the first PRC ambassador to <entity_3>. A few years after the establishment of diplomatic relations between <entity_3> and the <entity_0>, China began market-orientated reforms, which led to a significant and increasing expansion of bilateral trade. The <entity_2> is located in Canberra, ACT in <entity_3>.
