The National Security Podcast

China's naval activity off Australia: coercion or common practice?


Listen Later

Was China's live fire exercise off Australia's coast permissible under international law? What might have been the rationale behind this exercise?

Does this fit into a bigger pattern of Chinese maritime coercion, or was it a standalone incident?

What are the strategic implications for Australia of China's growing blue water naval capabilities? How should Australia respond?

 

In this episode Jennifer Parker and Douglas Guilfoyle join David Andrews to discuss China's recent naval operations off Australia, their legality, and the strategic lessons for Australia.

 

Jennifer Parker is an Expert Associate with the ANU National Security College (NSC).

Professor Douglas Guilfoyle is an expert in maritime security, the international law of the sea, and international and transnational criminal law at the University of New South Wales (Canberra).

David Andrews is Senior Manager, Policy & Engagement at NSC.
