«'This is an important volume about an important bilateral relationship in the Asia Pacific. It offers an Australian perspective on the various dimensions of a mature and robust relationship, including Australia's unofficial ties with Taiwan, which contributes significantly to the peace and prosperity of the region. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Australian foreign policy.' Edmund Fung, Professor of Asian Studies, University of Western Sydney 'This is a useful book for anybody interested in the background and recent history of Australia-China relations.' The China Journal 'The book is a valuable contribution to study of relations between countries with unequal power.' USI Journal 'The various authors have a wide breadth of experience combining the academic, diplomatic, governmental and business perspectives. Because of breadth of experience, the text goes beyond a state-centric perception of relations by including description of sub-state relations as well...worth a read to gain a clear summary at a number of levels, of the first 30 years of constructive relations between the two countries.'
