The article reports on a recent episode involving Chinese warships conducting drills off the Australian coast, sparking political debate. Australia's Defence Minister urges a calm approach, emphasizing adherence to international law, as Australian vessels also operate near China. The Coalition criticizes the government's response, viewing it as downplaying the strategic implications and exposing failures in Australia's China strategy. The Foreign Minister defends the approach, asserting that stabilization doesn't equate to agreement with all Chinese actions. The Coalition also raised concerns about delays in the Australian Defence Force receiving formal notification of the drills. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The policy was first announced after Chinese Premier Li Qiang's visit to Canberra in June, following the warming of Australia-China relations.

China's Premier Li Qiang successfully visited Australia last month. The loan of two more pandas captured headlines, but if one looks closely at how the visit unfolded it's clear Australia faces a very complex strategic landscape. The Albanese government clearly wants to maintain a stabilised relationship with China under the PM's manta “cooperative where we can, disagree where we must, and engage in the national interest”.  But what are the benefits and costs of that strategy, and are the trade-offs worth it? Darren is joined once again by Dr Ben Herscovitch of the ANU for a conversation that lays out alternative framings for the choices the Australian government is, and is not, making in how it manages the China bilateral, and whether these choices are in the national interest.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang visits Australia seeking to repair relations after a diplomatic spat between the two countries triggered punitive tariffs. While in Australia, he will visit a Chinese-controlled lithium processing plant, as Beijing eyes more investment in critical minerals. Also in this edition: Muslim pilgrims fill Saudi Arabia as the kingdom tries to boost tourism in a pivot away from oil exports, and the US Surgeon General calls for warning labels on social media platforms.

Joining Darren this episode is Jude Blanchette. Jude holds the Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). There's no-one whose analysis and commentary Darren values more highly in helping him understand China.   The context for this discussion is the fact that this weekend China's Premier Li Qiang will visit Australia, the first visit by Chinese #2 since 2017. Following on from PM Albanese's trip to Beijing late last year, and FM Wang Yi's trip to Australia in March, Premier Li's visit will continue the process of unfreezing the political relationship, what the current Australian government famously labels ‘stabilisation'. However, the Albanese government has not escaped criticism for its approach to China. Some would argue Canberra has gone softer on Beijing than it could have, whether on responding to dangerous actions by the Chinese military, or on perennial issues like human rights. And there's also been a criticism of stabilisation as strategy – what is the goal of stabilisation? What is the end state? What is striking about these criticisms is how similar they are to criticisms of the Biden's administration's approach to China, which is often given the label ‘competition'. What is the goal of competition? Does the US just ‘compete' indefinitely, a kind of steady-state, or should it be focused on an ‘end-state'? A recent piece by former Trump administration China lead Matt Pottinger and retiring GOP Congressperson Mike Gallagher argues that the goal should be not to compete, but to win. With all this as context, recently Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade hosted a group of US-based China experts here in Canberra, presenting Darren with an opportunity to interview Jude in-studio. Jude also hosts the excellent Pekingology podcast, where he interviews scholars and researchers who study the actions of China's government and the CCP in particular. In our conversation we cover Australia-China relations, US-China relations and the links between the two, and many other things besides. We start, of course, with the concept of stabilisation in the Australian context, but very quickly that broadens out into a discussion of the Biden approach given its parallels with stabilisation, and the Pottinger/Gallagher critique. We then turn to the question of how to influence China, and the balance between wielding direct influence versus working indirectly with partners. I ask Jude how he explains the apparent adjustment in PRC foreign policy in recent years, and how a potential Trump return to the Presidency might shake things up. Above all however the big question overshadowing our discussion is this: what's the best way of forging a long-term China strategy, how early are we into the competition phase with China, and how long will it last? And what is the narrative needed to sustain such a strategy?

Join us in this week's podcast as Nucleus Wealth's Chief Investment Officer Damien Klassen and Head of Advice Samuel Kerr revisit the tense relations with our largest trading partner. Prime Minister Albanese is in China this week. The Australia-China trade relationship has been fraught with tension, stemming from a complex interplay of geopolitical rivalry, human rights concerns, and security issues. Australia's push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 and its outspoken criticism of China's actions in Hong Kong and Xinjiang led to diplomatic strains, with China retaliating by imposing tariffs and import restrictions on key Australian exports like barley, wine, and beef. Furthermore, China's increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea and its economic coercion tactics have triggered a defensive response from Australia, leading to calls for diversification of trade partnerships and a reevaluation of reliance on the Chinese market. The once mutually beneficial economic ties now face the challenges of trust deficit and ideological clashes, complicating the prospects of smooth trade relations. ⁠View the presentation slides⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To listen in podcast form click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get an obligation-free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠portfolio recommendation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see how we would invest for you Learn more about the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find us on social media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Want to know more?  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here to Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nucleus Wealth is an Australian Investment & Superannuation manager that can help you reach your financial goals through transparent, low-cost, ethically tailored portfolios.

China's activities in the Pacific have been the subject of increased media attention in Australia. Its vast resources exercised through trade and investment has bought both good will and influence, and a recent agreement with the Solomon Islands on policing cooperation intensified concern among Australian security watchers about its strategic ambitions in the Pacific region. But while Australia is showing concern, is China benefitting the Pacific Islands, and exposing the gaps in Australia's support?

Join me in an insightful conversation with Tarric Brooker, a seasoned expert in geopolitics, finance, and economics with experience at News Corp and Hill Tower Resource Advisors. We unpack the mixed bag of the Chinese economy, its impact on Australia's exports and budget surplus, and delve into the world of property bubbles and engineered glide paths.In our discussion, we explore the fascinating relationship between Australia and China, touching upon the effects of rising inflation in China on Australia's economy, and the Australian federal government's reliance on commodities to fund its spending. Additionally, we examine the potential devaluation of the Chinese Yuan and its possible impact on the Australian dollar. We also analyze Australia's unique response to rising interest rates and its precarious position with 85-95% of mortgages being variable rate.Lastly, Tarric and I discuss the disinflationary and deflationary forces of widening wealth gap, demographics, and technology, and ponder the changing narrative of demographics post-COVID. We consider how AI may replace the need for more people, and explore the potential unique case of Australia's boomer-powered economy, where older Australians are an aggregate exceedingly wealthy. Tune in as we debate the possible short term inflationary effects of the reminder of death in the midst of the COVID lockdown, compared to the longer-term deflationary effects.Nothing on this channel should be considered as personalized financial advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities. The content in this program is for informational purposes only.

China's ambassador to Australia has labelled the AUKUS defence pact a waste of taxpayer money and unhelpful to Australia-China relations.

Mark Watson of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute joins the U.S.-China Nexus to trace the peaks and valleys in Beijing-Canberra relations.

Taiwan represents possibly the most intractable issue in international affairs, but also one of the most important. Arguably, no theory or opinion on the biggest questions Australian foreign policy can be complete, or maybe even credible, until it grapples with the Taiwan issue. And so on this episode Allan and Darren use the occasion of US Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit to the island to sort through their views. Be warned, this is a long and wonkish episode! But more so than perhaps anything else discussed on the podcast, Taiwan requires the time and space to lay out one's views and have them challenged. The episode concludes with a quick update on Australia-China relations, given the Chinese Ambassador's recent speech at the National Press Club. We bid farewell Annabel Howard and thank her so much for all her help, and welcome Atikah Mekki and thank her for audio editing today, and thanks also to Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.

Is Australia going to cave to China? That's the question on a lot of people's minds after Australia's national elections on May 21. Australia drew the ire of the CCP after Prime Minister Scott Morrison called for an investigation into the origins of Covid-19, and Australia-China relations have been strained ever since. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about why some Australians are lobbying for a reset in China-Australia relations, China's quest to dominate the global biotech industry, and how China controls the World Health Organization (WHO). Joining us in this episode is former Australia-China Council scholar Andrew Phelan.
