[quote=APAULT,252445]I don't think you'd have much success getting into Australia.  You would have to satisfy the normal entry requirements such as having required skills.  I suggest you approach this in small steps and from all angles.  In the short term, build up the relationship and maintain proof of it: photos together and with other people, receipts of doing things together, perhaps a formal engagement.  Yes you can try to improve your mandarin but you should also check if there really are jobs if you get that skill.

Teaching is the easiest option if you have a degree, and you can get a ESL qualification through the Net.  Get some experience by trying it out in some schools - many cannot afford foreign teachers and would let you come and do some classes for them.  This is DEFINITELY the easiest path as you said you are willing to stay in China.  If you don't have a degree it is harder but not impossible and you may have to go to a language centre.

Otherwise, can you start a business activity?  That would give you considerable options for staying here.

Finally, you can consider returning to the UK and earn some money for a few months and then come over here for a while.  UK savings go a very long way here.  This is a good short term option and a last resort long term option.
