Founder’s Welcome Dear friends of the Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD), Welcome to the 2014 ACYD Summary Report, The ACYD is the pre-eminent track two Australia-China early career leaders forum. This year, as in the four years prior, the ACYD team searched for 30 delegates in Australia, China, and across the globe with the goal of finding the most diverse range of Australian and Chinese under the age of 35, committed to the Australia-China relationship. Our 2014 ACYD delegates represent a rich array of backgrounds: government officials; finance and law professionals; graduate school candidates at leading international universities; high-level political advisors; fashion experts; and researchers engaged in cutting edge humanities investigations. This years delegates will join the ranks of another 120 outstanding ACYD delegate alumni who have, or are moving into, positions of influence and leadership across the spectrum of the Australia-China dynamic. We believe that the depth, breadth, and growing scale of the ACYD alumni network – past delegates and ACYD team members – presents a fellowship of unparalleled access. That is, access to networks and peer support between high-performing, upwardly mobile Australians and Chinese drawn from a range of sectors shaping the future of the Australia-China relationship. Our alumni are united by a common bond of public service and dedication to promoting an inclusive, peaceful, and mutually-beneficial bilateral relationship. The ACYD team is extremely proud of the work we carried out to produce this year’s successful ACYD. For the ACYD team, our return on investment for hundreds of accumulated people hours of work is bringing together a world- class concentration Ambassador Frances Adamson with the 2014 ACYD delegates, organisers and friends of delegates and speakers to explore, in an intimate yet powerful setting, the nuances and intricacies of the state of the bilateral relationship. We continue our work with the ACYD in the knowledge that the meaningful people-to-people linkages formed between delegates, organisers, and speakers will produce tangible long-term public interest deliverables to the Australia-China relationship. A heartfelt congratulations on behalf of the ACYD team to the 2014 delegates for their involvement in this year’s ACYD. Henry F. Makeham Founder and Chair of the Board The 2014 ACYD organisational committee Day 1 Friday 21st November 2014 Themes: The Australia-China historical relationship Climate change and sustainability The Australia-China relationship today Session 1: Welcome and historical overview of the Australia-China relationship Over lunch at the beautiful restaurant - Capital M - BHP Chair of Australian Studies Professor David Walker raised concerns for developing Asian literacy in Australia. He discussed how the term 'Asia literacy' was embraced by Prime Minister Hawke during the bi-centenary in 1988 and has been used ever since to emphasise the need for Asian knowledge. While the Abbott government and Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne, have tended to view this term as a Labor invention, the pursuit of Asia literacy has a longer history and its conservative lineage has at times been neglected. ACYD 2013 Delegate, Lisa Qin, then encouraged delegates to introduce themselves in a “Mini Pechakucha” format. Professor David Walker, BHP Billiton Chair of Australian Studies, and ACYD Chairman, Henry Makeham open the 2014 ACYD at Capital M restaurant, BeiJing Session 2: Seminar- Energy and Climate Change Wang Tao, Resident Scholar in the Energy and Climate Program based at the Carnegie– Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, Li Junfeng, Director General of National Center of Climate Change Strategy Research - National Development and Reform Commission, and Hugh Kater, General Manager of China Carbon Forum discussed how energy, long a mainstay of the Australia-China economic relationship, has entered a period of massive global change. With China seeking The spectacular Capital M restaurant to restructure its economy and diversify its energy sources, many have now questioned the investment phase of Australia’s mining boom. Domestically, China is focusing on managing pollution and expanding low-emissions energy. Internationally, as the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter and largest investor in renewable energy, China is integral to any effective response to climate change. With a fast approaching 2015 deadline for a new global climate deal, there is increasing emphasis on the scope for China to collaborate with the United States and other major economies. Both China and Australia, where climate policies have recently been restructured, will face demands to achieve better outcomes. This session was an opportunity for delegates to engage with these critical environmental and energy challenges. Henry Makeham welcomes delegates to the 2014 ACYD Session 3: Welcome reception at the Australian Ambassador to China’s residence The Ambassador, recently returned from her visit to Australia with Chinese President Xi, hosted the delegates, sponsors and speakers at a special welcome reception in her residence. The Ambassador spoke of President Xi’s recent visit to Australia and the warmth of his reception. HE Ambassador Frances Adamson, Australian Ambassador to The People's Republic of China and ACYD Patron, hosts delegates and guests at Welcome Reception Day 2 Saturday 22nd November 2014 Themes: Media in China Global risks: food security The Australia-China-US relationship Trade, business and finance The day began with a warm welcome from Kevin Lam, Partner from ShineWing, who kindly hosted our session at their beautiful offices in Beijing. Session 4: Media in China In this session facilitated by ACYD delegate Jean Dong, delegates heard from Chenglei, CCTV AsiaBiz TV presenter, Wang Jiapeng, World News Editor, Caixin Media and Tracey Xiang, Senior Editor, Technode. Delegates listened as these three diverse media personalities debated the media landscape in China and speculated on where they see the trends in social media developing. Session 5: Seminar- Food security In this session, experts Manuela Zonesein, CEO, Smart Agriculture Analytics and Shi Yan, Founder, Shared Harvest Farm, discussed the increasing food security risks facing Australia and China in a session facilitated by Fairfax China correspondent Phil Wen. Delegates were encouraged to challenge the speakers with controversial questions, and to examine how Australia-China collaborations can assist in mitigating these increasingly complex risks. Session 6: Simulation- International Affairs. US, Australia, China relationship followed by Session 7: Security crisis simulation 2013 delegate, Yun Liu, opened the security session by raising the contentious issue of Australia and its national interests. Which power, the US or China, should it side with to maximize its own interests? In recent years, non-traditional security issues, ranging from climate change and cyber security to health epidemics and the resurgence of terrorism, are presenting new challenges to each country’s national interests. In today’s dynamic world, how would the trilateral relationship between Australia, Delegates at BeiJing Universitu China and the US continue to evolve? Would there be more opportunities or challenges created? Presented by Colonel Montorola, Australian Defence Attache, Zha Daojiong, Professor of the School of International Studies at Peking University, and Jane Perlez, Chief Diplomatic Correspondent, New York Times, delegates were exposed to different perspectives on the current dynamics of this trilateral relationship. Session 7: Business, Trade and Economics with the Victorian Government The Gala Dinner of the ACYD was hosted by the Victorian Government. The Victorian Government’s Commissioner, Tim Dillon, opened the evening with an overview of the important trade relationship between Victoria and China. Telstra International CEO, Tim Chen, then outlined key contemporary challenges in the Australia-China business relationship. As former China President of Motorola, Microsoft, and NBA, Tim discussed the subject of leadership in Asia, with particular reference to the growing number of Australian companies competing and capitalising on the rise of China. The 2014 delegates and management team at a Victorian Government hosted dinner Day 3 Sunday 23rd November 2014 Themes: Global Health China and Africa Art and Creative Industries Session 8: Global Health 2013 ACYD delegate and Adjunct Professor of Public Health, Law and Ethics at Georgetown University, Alexandra Phelan, examined global attempts to control infectious disease epidemics. Alex discussed the new era threats such as Ebola and H7N9 influenza and how they have transformed China’s response to pandemic threats into one of global citizenship and global cooperation. The core of the session was a simulation that engaged the broad expertise of the delegates across diverse studies of law, health, politics, science, sociology, public relations, and commerce. Through the simulation, delegates were prompted to make national and international decisions, based on limited information and with a limited time frame, while attempting to protect health, economies, and the popular opinion. Delegates engage in a health crisis simulation at BeiJing University Session 9: The Case of China-Africa: Implications and Lessons for Australia In this session, Beijing University Lecturer, Lauren Johnston, challenged delegates to consider whether Australia is too strongly influenced by current

    The Australian-Asian Connection: from Alfred Deakin to John Howard

    THE AUSTRALIAN-ASIAN CONNECTION: FROM ALFRED DEAKIN TO JOHN HOWARD Laksiri Jayasuriya University of Western Australia Introduction: Contextualizing Australia in Asia Several commentators have seized upon Australia’s recent entry to the inner sanctum of East Asian Summit as a turning point in Australia’s relationship with is regional neighbours. This goes to the heart of what I have termed the ‘Australian-Asian Connection’, or as others have called it, the Asian Engagement or Enmeshment. We indeed have come a long way since the historian La Nauze dismissed Australia’s proximity to Asia as something for the future (Walker 2003) As we ponder the significance of joining the East Asian Summit, many questions come to mind: does this signify a radical change in Australia’s view of itself? Is this the answer or a clue to the critical question whether Australia sees itself as an ‘Asian nation’ with a firm link to an Asian regional hegemon, or that Australia now embraces more firmly a duality – i.e., as an ‘Asian nation as well as a European nation’ (Collins 1985, 391). If, indeed there has been a change in how we comprehend the Australian-Asian connection, what underlies this sudden embrace of an ‘Asian future’ by none other than John Howard who in the past was forthright in his criticism of the regional policies in the Hawke and Keating era h (Dalrymple 2003). This becomes a perplexing query, particularly when one recalls that Foreign Minister Downer has stated that Australia had no wish to be part of a new regionalism such as that portrayed by Mahathir and others.

    “Frank Clune Discovers and Then Disowns Asia”

    July 27, 9:00~10:30: Session (I-3) Room 1-104 David WALKER, BHP Billiton Chair of Australian Studies at Peking University, China “Frank Clune Discovers and then Disowns Asia” Key words Australian literature, Australian history, Asia literacy, Decolonisation Abstract Australia’s attempts to achieve a better understanding of Asia have a longer history than is often acknowledged. In the late nineteenth century there were various speculations about what the rise of Asia might mean for Australia. The first appointment to a Chair of Oriental Studies dates from 1917, with the appointment of the Japan specialist, James Murdoch, to the University of Sydney at Duntroon. Murdoch’s successor was also a Japan specialist. Among those tempted to learn Japanese in the hope of discovering new opportunities in Asia was a returned soldier and restless spirit, Frank Clune. Clune soon discovered that learning Japanese was no easy task. He began a career as an author of popular histories and racy travelogues. While he abandoned his language studies he retained his interest in Asia. Clune’s first book on Asia, Sky High to Shanghai, appeared in 1939. In the same year Australia’s new Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, in his first radio broadcast as PM noted that was the ‘Far East’ for Britain was the ‘Near North’ for Australia. There was a growing awareness that Australia’s proximity to Asia had profound implications for Australia’s future. Over the next twenty years Clune wrote seven books with Asian themes. Having proclaimed himself as the nation’s guide to Asia in the late 1930s he abandoned Asia as a theme in the late 1950s.
