2024 ANU CHINA IN THE WORLD FORUM
Australia's Roles and Responses to US-China Competition
Australia-China relations appear to be stabilised since the Albanese government was elected in 2022. While economic relations are warming, security tension remains. A growing presence of China in the Indo-Pacific has presented new and complex challenges for Australia. To what extent can the Albanese government engage in national interests by fostering economic cooperation with China while countering its security threats? How does Australia position itself in deteriorating US-China relations? The panel will delve into the multifaceted strategic, security, and economic interests that shape the dynamics between Australia, the United States and China. It will also explore the pivotal role of Australia as a ‘middle power’ in the region.
