讲座内容简介(Abstract)：Sino-Australian relations have experienced significant growth in diplomatic, economic and security ties over the past four decades. The general trends have been positive, especially in the economic area, where the two countries have developed strong and mutually beneficial interdependence. China has become Australia’s largest trading partner and its growing demands for resources will continue to affect Australian economic wellbeing. Australia in turn has become a major destination for Chinese tourists and choice for higher education. Canberra has played an important role in encouraging and drawing China into regional multilateral institutions such as APEC, and the two countries have cooperated on major international and regional issues. However, bilateral relations periodically encounter difficulties and occasionally suffer major setbacks, largely due to differences in ideologies, socio-political systems, such as the Tibet, Taiwan, and human rights issues, and emerging challenges ranging from cyber security to geo-strategic shift in the region, marked by China’s rise and the US rebalancing to Asia.

自1972年中澳两国正式建交以来，尽管偶有摩擦，但双边友好关系稳定发展。双方在战略上、政治上和经济上的联系也越来越紧密，而且可以预期这个趋势将会延续。过去四十年见证了中澳双边关系在经济、外交和安全领域上取得了重要进展。总体的趋势是积极正面的，特别是在经济领域。中澳双边贸易额突飞猛进，从1972年的不到1亿美元飙升到2012年的1200亿美元。然而，双边关系有时面临诸多难题甚至一度倒退。根本原因在于，尽管北京和堪培拉在处理双边关系时倾向于采纳实用主义的手法，但双边在意识形态和社会政治体系的不同导致彼此在看待一些敏感议题时存有分歧。从战略层面来说，澳大利亚仍然是美国的坚定盟友。这意味着堪培拉的外交和安全政策显然会受到美国的印度-太平洋政策和美中关系的影响。事实上，中美是战略对手这个事实导致澳大利亚陷入最严峻的战略困境之中。在这个背景下，中澳之间必须发展具有战略性和建设性的双边关系。这意味着双方要彼此尊重各自的核心利益，增进互信，建立新型大国关系。这样中澳双边关系才能够保持稳定发展，并造福两国人民(袁劲东)
