A conversation with Australia-China expert James Laurenceson
How has the Australia-China relationship changed over the last few years? What has been the impact of the spill-over of politics into the economic realm? Have views on China become more polarised, and what is the impact of increased tensions on Australia’s Chinese community?
These are some of the topics covered in our wide-ranging discussion with Professor James Laurenceson – an economist and the Director of the Australian China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney.
Professor Laurenceson’s academic research has been published in international peer reviewed journals. He is also a regular contributor to the Australian Financial Review, The Australian, the Sydney Morning Herald and East Asia Forum.
