First published in 1996, Australia's China explores the
multifaceted and dynamic Australian encounter with China from the
beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 through the Cold War to
the Australian recognition of the PRC in 1972. Going beyond
conventional policy studies, it traces the patterns in Australian
reactions to China from the grass-roots to official circles,
highlighting the centrality of images concerning the exotic,
disease, sexuality, the frontier, and China as a
paradise/anti-paradise. In responding to China, Australians
revealed something of themselves, and this book maps the formation
of Australian conceptions of identity in the context of a
cross-cultural encounter which was variously cooperative,
enriching, baffling, and antagonistic. But there was no single
Australian conception of China. Rather, competing perceptions
jostled in a shifting dialogue.
