Australia-China Relations: The State of Play

Foreign interference, the suspension of a human rights partnership, effectively frozen high-level political contact – and against this backdrop, record levels of bilateral trade. 2019 was another rollercoaster year for the Australia-China relationship, full of complications and contradictions.

UTS BIG THINKING FORUM

The Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS:ACRI) in partnership with UTS Big Thinking Forums is pleased to host a panel discussion during the Lunar New Year in which participants will reflect on the impact developments in the bilateral relationship over the past year have had in politics, business and the domestic community, and discuss the challenges that lie ahead.

Panellists include recent China correspondent and senior financial journalist at The Australian, Glenda Korporaal, and Osmond Chiu, commentator and research fellow at Per Capita. Third panellist to be announced.

The panel will be moderated by UTS:ACRI Director Professor James Laurenceson.

A selection of loose leaf Chinese teas, including white, black, green, jasmine and Pu'er, will be served.
