Why does Australia FEAR China? - VisualPolitik EN

It has been 45 years since China and Australia established diplomatic relations. Throughout this time, both countries have established one of the most fruitful, controversial and interesting relationships in the entire planet. Economic relations are very important for Australia: today China is by far its largest trading partner; 1 out of every 20 inhabitants of this country belongs to the Chinese community and both its universities and beaches are packed with students and tourists from the Asian giant. Thanks partly to all this, Australians have not experienced a crisis in almost 30 years. However, these growing ties clash with Washington’s interests, and in 2017 the Australian government decided once and for all to take sides. Since then, a diplomatic storm has been unleashed and Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has not refrained from blaming the Chinese intelligence services for wanting to corrupt Australian politics and society. In this video we’ll tell you what’s happening in this particular cold war, that is beginning to emerge between China and the United States.And don't forget to visit our friend’s podcast, Reconsider Media: http://www.reconsidermedia.com/CC licensed content used in this video:GoJo Media - Life Cycle - Melbourne Australia: https://vimeo.com/22160008Credits:Office of the Prime Minister of AustraliaUS Department of Defense
