  • Description: [...]while recent coverage of alleged Chinese 'influence' in Australian politics might have you think otherwise, the Australian-Chinese community isn't a dagger pointed at the heart of Australian democracy- it's a diverse community with every right to participate in the political process. People of Chinese origin and Chinadomiciled businesspeople do make donations to politicians, universities and other Australian institutions, for the same reasons that other people do: to gain prestige, to establish standing, to gain access to certain social circles, or because they feel affinity with the ideas of the politicians or parties they support. [...]in areas like global trade and climate change, Beijing is becoming a critical defender of the rules-based order on which we rely for economic and political security. Australians future prosperity and security depends on rejecting simple Cold War thinking, and they need to start on the large but necessary task of building a knowing but constructive, trust-based relationship with China.
