#167: China Panic

Published: July 29, 2021, 4:43 a.m.

Australia’s relationship with China has been in sharp decline, fuelled by a critical government agenda and a hostile media environment. The trust, warmth and confidence towards China is at a record low, and the majority of Australians now see it as a major security threat.

In his new book China Panic, David Brophy offers a progressive alternative to Australia’s relationship with China aside from paranoia and pandering, with solutions and strategies that strengthen Australian democracy.

Guest: Dr David Brophy (Senior Lecturer in modern Chinese history, University of Sydney)
