he said, describing the current climate as a &#8220;common sense phase&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this context, he added that Griffith was to be congratulated on inaugurating the Asia Lecture series.<\/p>\n<h3>Rise of China<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2016 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/John-Howard-lecture-in-article-pic-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"John-Howard-lecture-in-article-pic\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/John-Howard-lecture-in-article-pic-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/John-Howard-lecture-in-article-pic.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The value of relationships with Japan, Burma, Indonesia, India, Malaysia and Singapore each came in for some discussion, but none more than China. &#8220;The rise of China has been good for China and good for the world,&#8221; Mr Howard said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has contributed to our wealth and economic growth but we should not make the mistake of being mesmerised by China. China remains unashamedly an authoritarian country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Howard commended the attitude of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on his recent visit to China for emphasising the dividend to be gained from the relationship with China while also emphasising the importance of rule of law in international relations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He struck the right note,&#8221; Mr Howard said. &#8220;He didn\u2019t compromise on principle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He described Australia\u2019s bilateral relationships with China and the United States as the most important in the Asian region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Australia will always be closer to the US than it is to China. The common values between the two countries are stronger and common values will always trump trade agreements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we should be pragmatic in our relationship with China and focus on what we have in common.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Open Door<\/h3>\n<p>He argued that an open door policy should be maintained when it came to Chinese investment in Australia. &#8220;Chinese investment should be treated exactly the same as investment from any other country. We should welcome investment from anywhere in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Mr Howard summed up the growth of the Asian middle class of as &#8220;ongoing colossal significance&#8221; to Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Professor David Grant, Pro Vice Chancellor (Business) congratulated Mr Howard on a masterclass. &#8220;This was a talk that reminded us of the enormous change that has taken place and is ongoing in the region, a talk that has left us with lots to think about when we consider where the region may be headed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos from the event:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/app.secure.griffith.edu.au\/news\/2016\/04\/21\/john-howard-delivers-inaugural-asia-lecture\/\">This article was originally published in Griffith News<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; More photos from the Inaugural Asia Lecture are available on our Griffith Asia Institute Facebook page.
