How will Australia’s relations with its number one trading partner look in the post Covid-19 era?
As the political and economic disruptions of the pandemic become clearer, what impacts can we expect it to have on Australia’s critically important relationship with China?
This presentation will examine both the promise and perils of ties with our giant neighbour, and whether we should expect Australia-China relations to remain the same or change dramatically in the years ahead.
