12/21/2017: Trading ties amid Canberra-Beijing spat | Nepali Communist win for China and India

Doubts remain regarding Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's recent remarks about Australia “standing up” to foreign interference, misquoting late Chairman Mao Zedong’s speech, which is one example of such distrust. What’s the state of the Sino-Australian relationship now and looking into the future? The Point talks with Peter Arkell, the former chairman of AustCham Shanghai about the economic, political, and social ties between China and Australia.

How will Nepal’s elections influence the country’s relationship with its two big neighbors, China and India?
