The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) is presenting a series of "in depth discussions" hosted by the newly minted Australian "global affairs" specialist , Professor Stan Grant.
Professor Grant has in the past found work with CNN in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Abu Dhabi as a senior international correspondent. He is considered an expert on the rise of China.
He has had much to say about China , mostly about how wrong the rest of us have been about China's inevitable rise) . Despite all that Professor Grant has had nothing to say about the very many financial scandals that have plagued China and businessmen who have attempted to do business in China.
These are not trivial matters. From the Suzhou-Temasek scandal of the 90s to the Belt&Road-CCCC--1MDB theft and cover-up of 2010s and much in between, billions have been lost, and with consequences for the governments of South East Asia.The economic and political consequences for China and South East Asia are immense.
An ASPI Strategic Vision 2020 special about how, and possibly why Professor Grant missed all that has the potential to reveal much about China, its methods, and its prospects.
