Episode Synopsis

The former foreign minister of Australia, Alexander Downer, says the relationship with China has “fundamentally changed” in the past few decades. “I think it’s become a great deal more dangerous,” he told Sky News. As a result, Australia has beefed up its military deterrence against China and has moved closer into defence pacts with the United States and the United Kingdom. In this podcast, analysis of the security situation is provided by Dr Charles Edel, Australia Chair and Senior Advisor at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. The podcast is hosted by Duncan Bartlett, Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.
