US presidential election, Japan loses a Prime Minister, UK trade and Tony Abbott, China's message to Australia, and Russia mulls what to do in Belarus
This week on GeoPod Tenjin Consulting's Alexander Downer and Georgina Downer talk about, you guessed it, the US presidential election, including the Republican National Convention and the impact of Black Lives Matter protests on the race.
We discuss the resignation of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his substantial legacy after 8 years in office, particularly in free trade, and who are his likely successors. (10:45)
We turn to the United Kingdom and its trade agenda, including the appointment of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to the UK Board of Trade and what this might mean for the FTA negotiations with Australia, and look at how the Brexit negotiations are going, particularly the stumbling blocks over State Aid and fisheries. (26:05)
We analyse the meaning and implications of the speech by China's Deputy Ambassador to Australia and the likely impact of legislation enabling the Federal Government to override agreements with foreign governments entered into by the States and universities (think: Victoria's MOU with China on the Belt and Road initiative). (39:03)
Finally, we look at the rolling protests in Belarus and what Russia might do next to bring calm to its neighbour and friend. (50:11)
