Rethinking China with Yun Jiang

China Matters' 2022 in-person Sydney Lecture Series: Rethinking China features speakers of diverse expertise and background with the aim to inject breadth and depth into the public discussion about the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Yun Jiang, the inaugural AIIA China Matters Fellow, will describe how she sees China, why she sees China the way she does, and on that basis share her thoughts on what Australia’s approach to the PRC should be. In conversation with Yun will be Stan Grant, author, journalist and co-host of the ABC’s China Tonight program.

Drinks and canapés will follow the lecture.

China Matters thanks PwC for their generous support of this event.
