Relations between the United States and China have always been testy, but seem particularly tense in recent years as China grows more powerful and Washington aims to strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. This public lecture, co-presented with the China Studies Centre and Sydney Ideas, saw Centre CEO Bates Gill and China Studies Centre director Kerry Brown discuss what's ahead in the region and what it means for Australia.
