  • China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States
    Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

He showed her the scar above his right eye … There was a lot he didn’t tell her.’ A War of Words traces the extraordinary life of Charles Bavier. Raised Japanese in a European skin at the turn of the 20th century, fate and circumstance would ensure that Charles Bavier spent his life caught between SE two cultures, yet claimed by neither. A McDonald, one of Australia’s best-known commentators on foreign affairs and defence, with a focus on Asia, embarked on his quest after a box of Bavier’s papers were left on his desk in Tokyo in 1983. The trail was cold as Bavier had already been dead for six years, but McDonald was determined. The illegitimate son of a Swiss businessman, Charles was brought up by his father’s Japanese mistress. His life took many twists and turns including involvement in China’s republican revolution against the Manchus, enlisting as a soldier in Australia and joining the ANZAC assault on Gallipoli, then becoming involved with the British Secret Service in Singapore.

    earless f nadia India, Australia and the The Fearless Nadia Occasional Papers on India-Australia Asian Relations The Fearless Nadia Occasional papers are original essays commissioned by the Australia India Century Institute focusing on various aspects of the relationship between India and Australia. Fearless Nadia (1908- 1996) was an Australian actress born Mary Ann Evans in Perth, Western Australia, who began her career working in the Zarko circus and eventually became a celebrated star of Hindi films in India. Fearless Nadia brought a new joie de vivre and chutzpah into Indian cinema with her breathtaking ‘stunts’. Her role in the Hamish McDonald renowned film Hunterwali, where she appeared dressed in boots and wielding a whip, became an iconic image in 1930s Bombay. The Occasional Papers series seeks to inject a similar audacity and creative dialogue into the relationship between India and Australia.

  • Australian Media in the Asian Century
    Australian Media in the Asian Century Hamish McDonald ~ Pearls and Irritations ~ 21 May 2021 https://johnmenadue.com/australian-media-in-the-asian-century/ This week’s media roundup sees the welcome return of journalist Max Suich.In response spluttering snipes from the anti-China hawks’ nests at ASPI and the ANU’s National Security College were weak. There were also several book releases around growing tensions between Australia and China and new information on the ASIS bugging of Timor-Leste in 2004. The getting of wisdom? After a break up North, the column returns to find the China debate receiving deeper scrutiny all round, to the discomfort of hawks who’ve been getting a pretty free run in the media. Max Suich of National Times fame came out of retirement for a magisterial four-part series in the Australian Financial Review, of 16, 17 and 18 May, on how the Turnbull and Morrison Government had consistently made a worsening situation even worse than it needed to be. Spluttering snipes from the hawks’ nests at ASPI and the ANU’s National Security College were weak. Books are pouring out of the printing presses. Strangely, Labor’s Penny Wong decided to launch ‘Red Zone: China’s Challenge and Australia’s Future’, by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Peter Hartcher, a journalist who’s done his share of raising war fears and slagging business leaders for complaining about the state of the China relationship. Wong devoted her speech to attacking the Morrison government for doing the same, though she did have a point of agreement with Hartcher in advocating more funding for Chinese- language public broadcasting to counter the grip on our domestic Chinese newspapers and radio by Beijing’s propaganda apparatus.
