I just saw this post about YHA China and Chinese backpackers in Australia:

YHA is enjoying substantial growth in Australia in visitation from mainland China, and has themed the conference "Catching the tail of the Dragon". China is Australia's fastest growing tourism market; in 2012, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Australia increased by 17 percent to over 600,000; overtaking Britain for the first time, and making Chinese tourists now second only to those from New Zealand. The Conference will consider the significant change in the YHA market mix, in targeting more guests from Asian countries.
It also says that YHA China has over 300 hostels now.
This other article says that 51 hostels have joined YHA China in 2012, with 34 in rural locations:
