China Matters is pleased to host “Rethinking China” with Professor Louise Edwards on 30 June at PwC Australia, Watermans Quay, Barangaroo.
Our 2021 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).
Louise, a respected author and academic of Chinese history, 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 Louise will be Hamish Macdonald, host of the ABC’s Q&A program.
Drinks and canapés will follow the lecture.
Tickets are limited and registration is essential.
Please arrive by 5:45pm to ensure sufficient time for check-in and seating. Please note doors will be closed at 6:10pm and no one will be allowed entry after that.
China Matters thanks PwC for their generous support of this event.
