Mapping the World - Australia: A Western Or Eastern Power?

Synopsis

The "Land Down Under " has been a close ally to the Western countries, but now the country plays a key part in the Pacific area. While it was historically oriented towards the distant West, its geographical proximity to China now makes Beijing its main economic partner.

This is more than enough to bring on its American ally's ire – this remote country is a strategic support point in this region of the world where China's sphere of influence is growing in size and strength. It has thus raised the question "Tomorrow, will Australia be a Western or Eastern power? "

 

The Serie : Then complex world of geopolitics broken down into ten minute, bite-sized chunks. You'll never sound uninformed at the dinner table ever again.
