Part 5/11:
Turning to the international arena, Sheridan scrutinizes Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s diplomacy, especially regarding China and the United States. He sharply criticizes Albanese’s handling of the delicate relationship with Beijing, describing it as a mismanagement of Australia’s national interest. Sheridan argues that Australia has allowed China to score propaganda victories by manipulating Australian leaders’ actions and statements, while gaining little in return. The perception is that Australia has been too conciliatory, providing Beijing with diplomatic and strategic advantages.
