Australia, China, and the Economics-Security Nexus with Amy King of ANU

Welcome to the Seneca Podcast, the weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program, we'll look at books, ideas, new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what's happening in China's politics, foreign relations, economics, and society. Join me each week for in-depth conversations that shed more light and bring less heat to how we think and talk about China. I'm Kaiser Guo, coming to you from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Seneca is supported this year by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison, a national resource center for the study of East Asia.

The Seneca podcast will remain free, but if you work for an organization that believes in what I'm doing with the podcast, please consider lending your support.

Look for even more great content coming in outstanding podcast series from Johns Hopkins CIS and the excellent Trivium Weekly podcast all coming soon. Just after the American presidential election, I was asked to speak to a group of Australian government folks on a Zoom call to talk about the implications of a second Trump term for US China relations and about China's likely response at various levels to Trump's return to the White House. The other speaker on that call was Amy King, associate professor in the Strategic and Defense Studies Centre at the Australian National University and deputy director for research. Her remarks were just brilliant, full of what I thought were profound insights, just drawing on on the body of her work.
