Publication

This publication reflects on how political commentary and media reporting on China’s influence and interference operations in Australia could adversely affect Chinese-Australian communities. It does so by looking at 1) how agencies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) misrepresent and distort Australian commentary and reporting about the party’s conduct at home and abroad, its interference operations in Australia, and legitimate Australian responses to its conduct and operations, and 2) how Australian politicians and media run the risk of alienating and possibly stigmatizing Chinese Australians through misleading claims or imprecise choices of words.
