Can Australia work with China on science and technology? What are China’s priorities in science and technology? How will China’s rapid progress in the critical technologies of the future and the US-China tech decoupling impact Australia? Join us to discuss China’s quest to be a science and technology superpower, its race with and against the United States and what it all means for Australia.
