Boost your China literacy. With sponsorship from King & Wood Mallesons, ACRI presents a China Correspondents Panel.

The panel comprises three Australian journalists who reported from Beijing. We will question them on their insights. What are their conclusions about how China works? How did they cultivate sources? With their experiences, how do they think China is travelling?

Bob Carr questions: Helene Chung (ABC), Rowan Callick (The Australian), Trevor Watson (ABC).

Helene Chung, an ABC Beijing correspondent during 1983-1986, was the first female posted abroad by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the first non-white reporter on Australian television.

Rowan Callick has written substantially about China for almost 20 years. He was China correspondent from 1996-2000 for the Australian Financial Review based in Hong Kong, and from 2006-2009 for The Australian, based in Beijing.

Trevor Watson offers extensive experience, having worked at the ABC for two decades. A Walkley Award winner, he was ABC correspondent in Canberra, New Delhi, Sydney, Bangkok, Beijing, Port Moresby and Singapore.

We would be honoured if you are able to join us for this event. RSVP: Please click here
