At the Wednesday Lunch on 22 June, Professor Alan Dupont spoke about his new Lowy Institute Policy Brief, 'Living with the Dragon: Why Australia needs a China strategy'.

Dr Dupont argued that Australia has failed to grasp the full implications of China’s meteoric rise or the risk of conflict in the Western Pacific. He called for a coherent, national approach to China, one that is informed by a clear appreciation of the drivers of Chinese strategic policy particularly in the Western Pacific, which is the most likely arena of confrontation between China and the US.
