China Matters Explores is our policy brief series that focuses on individual tough issues in Australia’s relationship with the People’s Republic of China. Our goal is to provide a nuanced assessment of the issue before specifying concrete recommendations to the Australian government, businesses and non-governmental institutions.

China Matters does not have an institutional view, and the views expressed in our policy briefs belong to the respective authors.

Our policy brief series is published in the interests of advancing a mature discussion of Australia’s relationship with the PRC. Our goal is to influence government and relevant business, educational and non-governmental sectors on this and other critical policy issues. The recommendations contained in each brief are read by those at the highest level of government and the public service, and have in the past been enacted into relevant legislation.
