Talking Post: Kevin Rudd unpacks the risk of war between China and the US with Yonden Lhatoo

Australia’s relations with China are at a new low after the formation of Aukus, a new security pact Canberra has made with the US and the UK – widely seen as an alliance to confront Beijing. In the second episode of Talking Post, SCMP chief news editor Yonden Lhatoo speaks with Kevin Rudd, former Australian prime minister and now head of the Asia Society global think tank. They discuss what Aukus means for the region and how it factors into the risk of war between China and a US-led Western alliance.
