Drawing on interviews with Scott Morrison, Malcolm Turnbull and a rare interview with Australia’s spy chief, Red Zone is a gripping look at China’s power and Australia’s future.
What does China want from Australia? In this incisive and original book, Peter Hartcher reveals how decades of economic dependence has left Australia open to the strategic ambitions of the most successful authoritarian regime in modern history. He shows how ideology, paranoia and Xi Jinping’s personal story have reshaped China, and shines new light on Beijing’s overt and covert campaign for influence – over trade and defence, media and politics.
Australia has now woken up to China’s challenge, from passing foreign interference laws to banning Huawei from our 5G network. But at what cost? Will we see a further slump in relations? How can we best protect our security, economy and identity?
Drawing on interviews with Scott Morrison, Malcolm Turnbull and other key policymakers, as well as a rare interview with Australia’s spy chief, Red Zone is a gripping look at China’s power and Australia’s future.
'Australia is on the front lines of the global struggle between China and the West over democratic values, and Peter Hartcher, one of the country's foremost journalists, presents a clear-eyed and utterly frightening account of the challenge we face. Highly recommended.'
Francis Fukuyama, author of The Great Disruption
'Hartcher’s clear-eyed analysis of the Australia–China relationship is as keen as it is unsettling.'
Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia
'Hartcher's analysis of Australia's place in the world is sharp and tenacious. He continues to make an outsized contribution to our democracy.'
Penny Wong
