| Abstract: | Changes over the decade: 1970: (a) Liberal (conservative) government still vehemently anti-China; belief that Peking instigating and "directing" the Vietnamese revolutionaries in a "downward thrust" of communism threatening the rest of Southeast Asia, and Australia itself. Australian "forward defence" policy maintained; continuing efforts to encourage the U.S. to keep up its military commitments in Southeast Asia. (b) Labor party opposition increasingly critical of U.S.inter- vention in Vietnam; party policy to recognise China; to substitute an Australian technical and economic role in Southeast Asia for a military one. (c) The economy: continuance of important trade links with "the enemy", China, which is a major market for Australian wheat exports. |
