b'After a month away, Allan and Darren try to make sense of a big month of news. They start with the Chinese Community Party\\u2019s 20th Party Congress, where President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented 3rd term as leader, and (somewhat more surprisingly) was completely successful in elevating loyalists to the Party\\u2019s inner leadership circle. Is China just a \\u2018normal\\u2019 authoritarian country now?\\nNext, in what is arguably the most significant policy decision affecting US-China relations in decades, the Biden Administration has imposed sweeping new controls on the export of semiconductors and other advanced technologies to China. These are perceived to be \\u2018force multipliers\\u2019 and thus necessary to curtail China\\u2019s military development. The issue is that they are also widely used in commercial technologies, and Beijing will thus perceive this as economic \\u201ccontainment\\u201d. Allan talks through the implications for Australia and Darren offers his cost/benefit analysis of the policy.\\nFinally, the past month has also been extremely busy in Australian foreign policy! Allan and Darren opt to focus on Japanese PM Kishida\\u2019s visit to Australia and the Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation that resulted. Allan explains the history of bilateral cooperation, while Darren uses the Declaration to (begin to) give some form to a theory of Australian foreign policy under the new government.\\nWe thank Atikah Mekki for audio editing and Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.\\nRelevant links\\nScott Waldron, Darren J.
