Update: 2025-08-06
Description
My guest today is Professor James Laurenceson is an economist and director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney.
Today we discuss:
- Whether the 10 year old China Australia Free Trade Agreement has been a success
- The crisis in Australian manufacturing sector and to what extent China is to blame
- Why Australia has not yet undertaken the same type of reconsideration on trade policy as we have seen in the United States
- Whether there has ever been a case of a nation being so split between its most important trading partner (China) and its security guarantor (the USA) and whether this is sustainable
And much much more.
