Chinese students studying here then returning to China could be just as much Australian influence on future China as it is Chinese influence on Australia. Doesn't seem to be the experience unfortunately in recent years. The CCP do a very good job of monitoring Chinese students in Australia and stif...

The CCP trying to influence Australian Politics has been an ongoing issue for years. Unless the Australian economy becomes less reliant on exporting raw materials to China, taking in higher education students from China, and consumers demand for cheap goods made in China decreases, I'm not sure how ...

I think one thing this pandemic will likely prove is that a lot of office jobs can easily be done from home just as effectively. It's' possible a lot more employees will demand to work from home and employers may also see the benefit in them doing so i.e. cost saving on the size of offices they leas...
