‘Pandas, tennis and fashion’: Albanese’s China visit labelled a ‘very polite’ reset

“We have a national defence strategy that says one thing, and we have diplomacy and other elements of national power that seemingly are acting in contrast.”

Speaking with Peta Credlin for Sky News Australia, Security & Defence PLuS Executive Director, Dr Ian Langford, unpacked Prime Minister Albanese’s recent visit to China and what it means for Australia’s strategic future.

Dr Langford stressed that:

“The future of Australia debate, the future of conflict debate needs to reconcile the dimensions of our economic and our security relationships across the IndoPacific, specifically how it relates to China and the US.”
