4. US-China relations and East Asian politics - with Xie Tao

How do the US public and policymakers view the military and economic dimensions of China’s rise? What effects do the collective memory of the Sino-Japanese War and the ‘century of humiliation’ have on China’s foreign policy? Xie Tao, Professor of Political Science at the School of English and International Studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University, joins Bob Carr, Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology Sydney to discuss the US-China relationship and East Asian politics. Xie Tao also offers his thoughts on China's perceptions of the Australian Government’s apparently more negative statements on China in recent months.
