NatConOz Interview: Rowan Callick - Have Xi Jinping and the Threat from China Been Overhyped?


Listen Later

My guest today is Rowan Callick, experienced journalist and former China Correspondent and Asia-Pacific Editor for The Australian who still regularly contributes to that newspaper.

I have known Rowan for many years and always found him someone you can have intelligent discussions with about China.

Today we discuss:

  • Xi Jinping and whether China would be any different domestically and act any different internationally under a different ruler
  • The threat from China to Taiwan, Australia and the West generally and the extent to which this has been overhyped
  • Whether he agrees with JD Vance that the "dumbest of all foreign policy solutions for our country is that we should let China make all our stuff and fight a war with China".
  • What he think is the most positive and most negative scenarios over the next 10 years with China
