The event features an outstanding panel of Honorary Professor Allan Gyngell, Associate Professor Margaret Simons, David Uren, and Associate Professor Jane Golley, and is moderated by Mark Kenny. The panel look at how to overcome the current ‘deep freeze’ in relations, how universities are responding to ever-growing numbers of Chinese students, and whether Australia could ever afford to decouple from China.
