N2 - This chapter explores shifting Australian foreign and domestic attitudes to China. The Long 1970s were a period of profound change for Australia, forcing a reassessment of Australia’s traditional links to the United Kingdom and the United States. Diplomatic recognition of China by the Whitlam government was only the start of deeper bilateral ties, which both Australian political camps recognized were central to the country’s economic wellbeing. As the Liberal-National Party replaced the Australian Labor Party, there emerged a bipartisan political acceptance of China that prefigured closer economic and social ties. With official encouragement at all levels, technological, scientific, cultural, and educational exchanges also flourished, buttressing a sometimes difficult relationship. © 2017, The Author(s).
