Two years on, the ACYD has grown from strength to strength. Not only has the ACYD itself improved, but it has proved an influential model for other youth organisations, with 2011 being the inaugural year of the China-Britain Youth Dialogue and the Australia-India Youth Dialogue, attesting to the influence of the founding vision of the Australia-China Youth Dialogue. We believe that institutionalised dialogue is of paramount im- portance in preparing youth leaders to effectively engage with their counterparts in what are two very different nations: eco- nomically, socially and politically. Managing these differences requires young leaders who have an understanding of each na- tion and the ability to mutually and constructively engage with one another in pursuit of a stronger, deeper and more beneficial Australia-China relationship. The ACYD Secretariat remains committed to this founding vision: bringing youth leaders together in an environment fostering mu- tual understanding, respect and future friendships to the benefit of the long-term Australia-China relationship.

The ETU represents approximately 65,000 workers electrical and electronics workers around the country and the CEPU as a whole represents approximately 100,000 workers nationally, making us one of the largest trade unions in Australia. The ETU welcomes the opportunity to submit to the Committee in relation to its examination of the Free Trade Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the People's Republic of China (ChAFTA). The role of the Committee (Appendix 1) is to assess the ChAFTA and form a view as whether it is in Australia’s national interest. We submit that the provisions around labour mobility, training, worker protections (or lack there-of), corporate rights and more, mean the agreement cannot be supported by the Committee in its current form. The ChAFTA will lock Australians out of job opportunities, erode industrial and public safety standards, and expose Australia to unfunded legal action that costs millions. Earlier this year the Productivity Commission voiced significant concerns over Free Trade Agreements1 and, like unions, continue to argue that these agreements don’t deliver measurable economy wide benefits as claimed, impose significant costs, and are oversold by governments.

  • ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS of AUSTRALIA Alison Elizabeth Broinowski 12 December 2001 a Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
    ABOUT FACE: ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUSTRALIA Alison Elizabeth Broinowski 12 December 2001 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University ii Statement This thesis is my own work. Preliminary research was undertaken collaboratively with a team of Asian Australians under my co-direction with Dr Russell Trood and Deborah McNamara. They were asked in 1995-96 to collect relevant material, in English and vernacular languages, from the public sphere in their countries of origin. Three monographs based on this work were published in 1998 by the Centre for the Study of Australia Asia Relations at Griffith University and these, together with one unpublished paper, are extensively cited in Part 2. The researchers were Kwak Ki-Sung, Anne T. Nguyen, Ouyang Yu, and Heidi Powson and Lou Miles. Further research was conducted from 2000 at the National Library with a team of Chinese and Japanese linguists from the Australian National University, under an ARC project, ‘Asian Accounts of Australia’, of which Shun Ikeda and I are Chief Investigators. Its preliminary findings are cited in Part 2. Alison Broinowski iii Abstract This thesis considers the ways in which Australia has been publicly represented in ten Asian societies in the twentieth century. It shows how these representations are at odds with Australian opinion leaders’ assertions about being a multicultural society, with their claims about engagement with Asia, and with their understanding of what is ‘typically’ Australian. It reviews the emergence and development of Asian regionalism in the twentieth century, and considers how Occidentalist strategies have come to be used to exclude and marginalise Australia.

What on earth is 'Australia's' China? I think it's a curious one. It contains, is possibly built on, a large measure of illusion. It is therefore not strictly 'on earth'. And the possessive in the title of the lecture refers to a set of Australian views and illusions and not much that is a Chinese reality. It refers also to the possessive in Australia's approaches to China. The possessive, of course, may be imperialist, and territorial. It may be patronising, and colonial. Or it may be the possessive of the smitten, in the embrace of seduction or of love. Australia has had all three. And as our nineteenth century attitudes had more to do with attitudes to non-European peoples than with China, and as there was nothing at all possessive about our nineteenth century encounters with Chinese people, I think the possessive for Australia in China begins with this century, at the quelling of the Boxer Rebellion.

Following requests from several younger conference participants who were looking forward to presenting at their first international conference and networking with established colleagues in their field, we have prepared this book of abstracts together with the program. We hope that you, our intended ASAA 2020 delegates, will use this document as a way to discover the breadth of research being undertaken and reach out to other scholars. Several of you have kindly recognised how much work went into preparing the program for our 600 participants. We think this is a nice way to at least share the program in an accessible format and to allow you all to see the exciting breadth of research on Asia going on in Australia and in the region.

  • Australians in Mission 204
    APPENDIX 1 AUSTRALIANS IN MISSION 204 N 1941 the British Army began preparations to give technical aid an d I training to the Chinese guerillas who were operating against the Jap- anese. A Military Mission named "204 Mission" was established in Chung - king to direct this work and the Chinese agreed to raise six guerill a battalions to each of which a demolition squad of British officers and othe r ranks would be attached . Meanwhile at Maymyo in Burma a Bush Warfare School had been established for training the British squads in guerilla tactics . To it were sent a number of Britons with knowledge of the interior of China an d volunteers from British units in Hong Kong, Burma and Malaya ; from commando units in the Middle East; and from the 8th Australian Division . This school trained a force about 250 strong organised initially into six contingents. The Australian contingent was about 40 strong and was drawn from seven units of the 8th Division. The men who volunteered for this specia l service were discharged from their units in the 8th Division on 27t h July 1941 and shipped to Rangoon, whence they travelled to Maymyo.' There and elsewhere in northern Burma they engaged in strenuous train- ing for the following six months. 2 Mission 204 did not set out for China until 25th January 1942. At the air force station at Lashio the men were loaded into vehicles containing six months' rations and large quantities of explosives, and in these they made the hazardous journey over the Burma Road to Kunming wher e they were reloaded into Chinese Army trucks.

  • ORTHODOXY in GREATER CHINA Laying the Foundation for an International Orthodox Presence
    A JOURNAL OF ORTHODOX FAITH AND CULTURE ROAD TO EMMAUS Help support Road to Emmaus Journal. The Road to Emmaus staff hopes that you find our journal inspiring and useful. While we offer our past articles on-line free of charge, we would warmly appreciate your help in covering the costs of producing this non-profit journal, so that we may continue to bring you quality articles on Orthodox Christianity, past and present, around the world. Thank you for your support. Please consider a donation to Road to Emmaus by visiting the Donate page on our website. ORTHODOXY IN GREATER CHINA Laying the Foundation for an International Orthodox Presence Archpriest Dionisy Pozdnyaev of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) has had a life-long interest in China and Chinese Orthodoxy. In 2003, he moved to Hong Kong to reestablish the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, Hong Kong’s original Orthodox Christian parish, and to search for avenues of communication with mainland China. Thirteen years after his initial interview with Road to Emmaus Journal, Fr. Dionisy returns to update us on the history of Orthodoxy in China, the challenges faced by native Chinese Orthodox, and his hopes for the future of Greater China. RTE: Father Dionisy, in 2005, after living in Hong Kong for two years, you said, “I can’t speak about real missionary work yet, as we are only preparing for missionary work. First we have to lay the groundwork.” A dozen years on, do you feel that foundation has been laid? FR. DIONISY: Yes, and it has been the work of an entire team of people.

  • Images of China: a Comparative Framing Analysis of Australian Current Affairs Programming
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXI: 1 (2012) LI Images of China: A Comparative Framing Analysis of Australian Current Affairs Programming Xiufang (Leah) LI Hanshan Normal University, China Abstract: Research into China’s image in Australia is helpful to promote the mutual understanding and the bilateral relations between the two countries. Informed by national image theory and media framing theory, this study uses content analysis and framing analysis to explore the prestigious current affairs programs: Foreign Correspondent produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and Dateline by Special Broadcasting Service. It examines both the frames and the framing patterns used by the two programs in their coverage of China in the past ten years. The study looks into the structures of theme, syntax, script and rhetoric of the episodes. The results show that both programs represent China negatively in a political sense, but neutrally in economic and environmental terms. However, Foreign Correspondent portrays China favourably regarding the cultural aspect. Framing devices are evident, including presentation format, animal images, ideological words, the public memory of the Cultural Revolution and the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. The analysis argues that Foreign Correspondent and Dateline serve the mission to build the Australian national identity as well as attempt to present a balanced picture of China, as stronger economic ties are developed and frequent cultural exchanges are encouraged. Framing techniques, however, have been consciously or unconsciously influenced by historical stereotypes and the conventional fear of communism expressed during the past two centuries. Keywords: National image, framing, the ABC and SBS, current affairs 1. Introduction China’s emergence has increasingly enhanced its media exposure in the world.
