CIW Annual Lecture: how does our current crisis with China reflect deeper problems in Australia’s engagement with Asia & Asian Australians?

Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) presents the 2020 CIW Annual Lecture (online) &#x27;Five Eyes, One Tongue and Hard of Hearing – Australia and Asia in China’s Century&#x27; by Professor Louise Edwards, UNSW.Australia’s relationships with the various nations of Asia are complex—the current trade and diplomatic crisis with China shows us the speed at which gains made over years can unravel in a matter of months. This crisis emerged despite more than 30 years of initiatives designed to improve Australia’s knowledge of Asia and reorient our thinking. To many Australians, including our leaders in government, media, education, business, arts and industry, Asia is &#x27;over there’—variously an exotic holiday, a big market, a diversionary foil, a threatening flood of illegals or slick, sneaky, cashed-up communists. Australians often struggle to really see, speak or listen to Asia. But, Asia is already here, in Australia. Asian Australians and Asia-oriented Australians know this reality. The 2020 China in the World Annual Lecture asks: How does “Asia” manifest in Australia? How does our current crisis with China reflect deeper problems in Australia’s engagement with Asia and Asian Australians? What does speaking with, and listening to Asia require and what benefits will it bring?<h3>About the speaker</h3>Louise Edwards is Scientia Professor of Chinese History at UNSW, Sydney and Honorary Professor at Hong Kong University’s China Studies program.
