Full text of "Silent Invasion"

Acknowledgements 


My largest debt is to Alex Joske for his excellent research support. His 
work opened up a wide array of invaluable information in Chinese- 
language sources in Australia and, especially, in China. 

Since deciding to write this book, I have been surprised and gratified 
by the willingness of all kinds of people to help. 

I am extremely grateful to Geoff Wade, who generously provided 
a series of leads and suggestions as well as advice on how to interpret 
much of the information, including a deeper grasp of what the CCPs 
objectives and methods are. 

David Kelly and Philippa Jones in Beijing were exceptionally help¬ 
ful in making contacts and allowing me to benefit from their deep 
knowledge of China. 

John Garnaut has lent strong support and provided excellent advice 
throughout. John Fitzgerald has been a peerless source of knowledge and 
a pillar of support through the tribulations of publication. John Hu has 
been an invaluable source of information and links into the Chinese- 
Australian community. 

Ye Fei, a brilliant and courageous Beijing political analyst, gave me 
extraordinary insights into China’s politics and Beijing’s international 
ambitions. I can name him because, tragically, he died three months 
after our last conversation.

views expressed in it.

of potential problems and pressing me to think through more carefully 
some of the strategic implications. 

My thanks lastly to Charles Sturt University for giving me the 
opportunity to pursue a project like this one.

95 Interview with Laurie Pearcey, 2 August 2017. 

96 ... we do extensive due diligence on all of our prospective partners and this is 
conducted by an expert independent third party. This involves consideration 
against a range of criteria including corporate beneficial ownership informa¬ 
tion as well as sanctions/regulatory/exclusion lists and so through this process 
we absolutely do look at military linkages as part of our considerations.’ Email 
to the author, 5 October 2017. On 17 October Pearsey emailed as follows: 
‘All of our research contracts with overseas partners go through a rigorous due 
diligence process and this includes ensuring that all contracts are compliant 
with Defence Trade Controls.’ 

97 Laurie Pearcey seems sympathetic to the goals of the Communist Party 
regime, variously arguing that: once the elitist demands for democracy 
fade, Hong Kongers will realise that their destiny has always been as part 
of China (‘Beyond the fog of tear gas, Hong Kong’s future remains with 
China’, The Conversation, 2 October 2014); that the One Belt, One Road 
initiative will save Australia from ‘splendid isolation’ (‘Chinas Belt and Road 
initiative counters isolationist sentiment: Australian academics, Xinhuanet, 
23 November 2016); and that Australian universities must suspend their 
parochialism and take the ‘bold first step along the new Silk Road ( Scholar 
urges bold step for Australia’s higher education along new Silk Road , Global 
Times, 26 May 2015). His views are regularly trumpeted by Chinas official 
media. He is the director of UNSW’s Confucius Institute. 

98 This topic is sensitive and no studies have been carried out. The existence of 
enclaves is easy to see from university staff lists for certain departments and 
centres. The possible impacts on academic culture are here speculations based 
on anecdote.

22 When in June 2017 the Labor Party attempted to put Bishop on the spot 
by asking about the Julie Bishop Glorious Foundation in parliament, the 
government returned fire by attacking Labor for taking money from dodgy 
gold dealer Simon Zhou, even putting him on its Senate ticket. Labor 
retaliated by bringing up Andrew Robb’s Chinese deals, and the government 
lobbed back accusations against ‘Shanghai Sam’ Dastyari and Joel Fitzgibbon. 
The exchange was vicious and exposed just how deeply both major parties 
have been corrupted by Chinese money and why both feel so obligated that 
they have been unwilling to crack down on it, at least until Prime Minister 
Turnbull introduced in December 2017 new national security legislation, a 
very important move. (For the parliamentary exchange, see Louise Yaxley, 
‘Julie Bishop denies knowledge of Chinese donor setting up company bearing 
her name’, ABC News Online, 14 June 2017.)

Australia almost certainly occurred by the time of the Han Dynasty (202 
BC-220 AD), and may date further back to the undocumented past’.

50 Between 6 June and 31 July 2017 Dr Varrall (temporarily) changed her tune, 
writing in The New York Times that Chinese students in Australia should not 
have their views closed down, a ‘threat to debate and openness’ that univer¬ 
sities need to deal with (Merriden Varrall, ‘A Chinese threat to Australian 
openness’. The New York Times, 31 July 2017). 

51 A week after the death of Imprisoned writer Liu Xiaobo, Merriden Varrall s 
contribution was to report sympathetically the reactions of Chinese national 
ists, who blamed the West for Liu’s death rather than his jailers in China. Her 
article was a rebuke to the outpouring of grief in the West, including from 
Chinese writers and dissidents. (Merriden Varrall, ‘China sees the West behind 
Liu Xiaobo’, The Interpreter, Lowy Institute, 18 August 2017). Elsewhere, 
Varrall misinterpreted the results of a Lowy Institute poll of public opinion 
by making out Australians are ‘confused’ because their growing anxiety about 
the military threat China poses was construed by her as conflicting with their 
belief that China is more economically important to us. The article aims to 
make the case that if only Australians were better informed they would be less 
worried and more friendly towards China.
