Beijing’s trade war against Australia has been a “failure” that could serve as a lesson to the Chinese leadership, according to former Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who noted that his key approach to dealing with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was to stand firm on Australian values.
Turnbull, along with former Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, appeared on La Trobe University’s The Ideas and Society Program to address China and its relationship with Australia and the United States.
