BEIJING, Aug 27 AAP - Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer will tomorrow begin a busy seven-day visit to China which is expected to focus on trade but also likely to again cover contentious issues in bilateral relations.

Mr Fischer's visit follows a brief trip last week by Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer, whose talks covered, among other issues, recent hitches in bilateral relations focusing on Taiwan and Tibet.

Mr Fischer brings with him a delegation of eight business leaders, including representatives from the wool, wheat, banking and insurance industries.
