To what extent does Australia's tie to the Chinese economy deserve primary credit for Australia weathering the GFC?

Australia has just delayed it, we are still letting people borrow more money than they can ever hope to repay (interest only loans on owner occupied places) now with our relationship with China growing tenuous (they're making deals with the USA and Russia instead of Australia), it spells bad news.

Australia did it by increasing immigration which is only a temporary solution. GDP per capita fell in the GFC.
