Publisher’s Summary

Drawing on interviews with Scott Morrison, Malcolm Turnbull and a rare interview with Australia’s spy chief, Red Zone is a gripping look at China’s power and Australia’s future.

How Australia woke up to China’s challenge – and what comes next. What does China want from Australia?

In this incisive audiobook, Peter Hartcher reveals how decades of economic dependence left Australia open to the strategic ambitions of the most successful authoritarian regime in modern history. He shows how ideology, paranoia and Xi Jinping’s personal story have reshaped China and shines new light on Beijing’s overt and covert campaign for influence – over trade and defence, media and politics.

Australia has now woken up to China’s challenge, from passing foreign interference laws to banning Huawei from our 5G network. But at what cost? Will we see a further slump in relations? How best to protect our security, economy and identity?

    well worth the read

    A thorough and comprehensive look at Australia’s relationship with China and the concerns with what may happen in the future. I think all of Australia’s politicians should read this book.
