ALP China expert Harris optimistic hopes

China expert says academics claims China will 'dominate' in the next 30 years 'pessimistic'
Top thinker says China may 'push the US out of Asia'

In the lead-up to the 2001 election, several academics - including Ross Garnaut (formerly Bob Hawke's senior adviser) and Stuart Harris (formerly secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs) - issued a statement that was described by one journalist as amounting to a "devastating attack" on the Howard Government. They maintained that Australia's links with the Asia-Pacific region were "more fragile and less productive than at any time for a generation".
