The current public debate in Australia about China reflects strong convictions and sectional priorities, but rarely attempts to reconcile these in a way that serves Australian society as a whole. For this, we should look to the concept of \u2018grand strategy\u2019, with\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/warontherocks.com\/2020\/05\/grand-strategy-is-no-silver-bullet-but-it-is-indispensable\/\"><em>precedents in international contests<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0of past centuries.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A grand strategic approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any strategic process, grand strategy balances ends, ways and means, seeking an outcome that is feasible given the \u2018operating conditions\u2019 and available resources. It is \u2018grand\u2019 in uniting actors from across society in a shared decision-making framework,&nbsp;directed at shaping the international order in ways both favourable and sustainable. This provides the best prospect for addressing all aspects of the national interest with all tools available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three long-term parameters shape the conditions and resources that Australia has to work with in our policy towards China. First, the economic bases of national power have become transnational. Production and technological progress have become extensively integrated across borders and now leverage global economies of scale. This means that any effort to bring production back within the nation-state, or even a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/henryjacksonsociety.org\/publications\/breaking-the-china-supply-chain-how-the-five-eyes-can-decouple-from-strategic-dependency\/\">group of like-minded states<\/a>, will involve significant trade-offs, and a long, messy process of corralling myriads of actors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s weight in these transnational systems, especially&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/voxeu.org\/article\/covid-concussion-and-supply-chain-contagion-waves\">within our region<\/a>, creates huge inertia against re-arranging such relations by government policy alone. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2020\/04\/09\/unemployment-coronavirus-pandemic-normal-economy-is-never-coming-back\/\">snowballing costs<\/a>&nbsp;of the pandemic will constrain the resources available, both for firms to \u2018decouple\u2019 from China and for governments&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/lawmakers-propose-spending-billions-to-strengthen-u-s-chip-industry-11591825784\">to support this<\/a>, even if the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/voxeu.org\/article\/new-ebook-covid-19-and-trade-policy-why-turning-inward-wont-work#.Xqldlq9JSl8.twitter\">costs of fragmenting global supply chains<\/a>&nbsp;are deemed worthwhile.
