He wants to explore some issues which include:
* China’s strategic ambitions in the South China Sea, south-east Asia, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean
* Australia-China trade relations including the full extent of Australian dependence on Chinese markets
*Chinese investment in Australia including in resources, telecommunications and critical infrastructure
*the role of the Chinese government in restricting access to its own markets to facilitate takeover bids for Australian exporters
*China and Australia’s interest in international health issues including the COVID-19 pandemic
*Chinese government influence on Australian university campuses, and Chinese government interference in Australian federal and state level politics.

With the government and opposition now finding it politically expedient to call for an international inquiry into China’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, they should support a rigorous parliamentary examination of Australia’s relations with China.

Only then will we start to build a new national consensus on shaping and managing this important relationship in what are difficult times. Australia’s national interest demands nothing less.
