Australia is caught in a perilous balancing act. 

This week, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Premier Xi Jinping to stabilise ties with China; as leaks from Washington revealed the steep demands of our AUKUS agreement with the United States. 

In the shadow of rising tensions over Taiwan, the question of where Australia stands, and who we stand with, has never been more complicated.

Today, host of the ABC podcast Global Roaming, Hamish Macdonald, on how the Albanese government is navigating our fraught alliances – and whether we could be headed for war.
