Description
As the strategic rivalry between the United States and China rapidly deepens, growing distrust and fears of China are once again shaping Australian media coverage and public discourse, with potent implications for Australia's China policy.
At this crucial historical moment, Engaging China offers a full-throated defence of engagement. This volume brings together a diverse set of Australia's seasoned diplomats, experienced journalists, and renowned scholars to assess the current state of Australia-China relations and offer pragmatic advice for how Australia can restore a healthy and stable relationship with China.
Over the past five decades, Australia's engagement with China has facilitated a deepening economic relationship alongside expanded cultural, educational, and people-to-people exchanges, fostering greater understanding between the two countries and populations.
The contributors to this volume share a common vision: Australia and Australians should continue to engage with China for their mutual benefit. The chapters take stock of past achievements, identify recent challenges, and offer practical suggestions for how the Australian government, firms, institutions, and individuals can proactively, productively, and securely engage with China in ways that best benefit Australia and Australians, as well as China and the Chinese people, today.
Australia's rich and diverse relations with China extend far beyond the political and economic interactions that tend to dominate news headlines. In explaining how and why an engagement strategy continues to serve Australian interests, Engaging China offers a timely alternative to the prevailing public and policy discourses on Australia's most challenging bilateral relationship.
