Australia should resist totalising China narratives     Page five news reports are sometimes straws in the wind. Though insignificant in themselves they may point to significant social changes that bear serious reflection. Two such events occurred last week. After a UNESCO World Heritage committee gave a provisional assessment that the Great Barrier Reef was endangered, the Federal Minister for the Environment suggested that the decision was politically motivated, so pointing the finger at China. Her response was a normal piece of deflection. Its significance was that the Minister believed that such a dismissal might be seen as credible. The second event was the release of a Lowy Institute Poll showing a sharp drop in Australians’ trust in China. The assessment referred to attitudes to the Chinese Government and not to the Chinese people. Nor did the lack of trust extend to Chinese people in Australia nor to the desirability of trade with China.
