The Great Debate On China: DFA Live Tuesday 11th August 2020

Join us tomorrow for an important debate on the relationship between China and Australia, with Salvatore Babones from the University of Sydney, and Robbie Barwick from the Citizens Party. @RobbieBarwick & @sbabones

We might explore topics such as:

  • Can we separate the political from the economic?
  • Is Australia caught between the USA and China?
  • How much are human rights being violated in China- and how should we respond?
  • Is the Belt And Road a trap, or a great investment?
  • Is Australia over-leveraged to China?
  • Is there an alternative?

We want to get beyond the raw “China good/China bad” dichotomy to explore what is really going on and how this might play out.

Especially important, given the fact that post GFC, China became our economic saviour. But can it happen again post COVID? Are there alternatives?

Join us on YouTube for the debate and join in by asking a question in the live chat.

This will be BIG!!! We start at 20:00 Sydney sharp.
