PUBLIC TALK: China in Conversation: The World Order in Transition - China, the US and Australia Fri, 15 Jun 2018 18:00 - The University Club of Western Australia Auditorium, UWA, Entrance #1, Hackett Drive, Crawley Professor Gordon Flake, the founding CEO of the Perth USAsia Centre and Professor Jia Qingguo, Dean of the School of International Studies of Peking University The 21st century has been dubbed the Asian century, as the growth of China’s economic and political influence puts increased pressure on the existing world order. For Australia, an ally of the United States situated in the Indo-Pacific region, these changes could not be more significant. In recent years China’s rise has sparked debate about how Australia should manage the relationship with its largest trading partner. Tensions between Australia and China have noticeably increased in the first few months of 2018. As Trump and Xi go head to head on the world stage, what will be the effect on Australia China relations, and what role can Australia play in these turbulent times? Join in the conversation with our experts for what is likely one of the defining issues of our time. This event is proudly presented by the Confucius Institute of UWA in partnership with Perth USAsia and Australia China Business Council.
