Australia’s former PM and present CEO of the Asia Society is aware of China fairly properly. He is fluent in Mandarin, and — for a foreigner — has a reasonably good thought of what is cooking in Chinese language politics.
That is why Kevin Rudd believes China’s zero-COVID technique will (most likely) stay in place all of subsequent 12 months.
The Chinese language, he tells Ian Bremmer, “had the interior shock of their life” throughout the early phases of the outbreak. And rumblings over Xi Jinping’s preliminary response have created a “deep pathology” in his thoughts about taking any dangers in any respect with the virus.
Rudd sees no clear COVID exit technique for China, or Xi. That’ll have severe implications for world commerce.
Additionally, China now needs to hitch the revamped TPP regional commerce deal — with out altering its phrases. That, he explains, is “mainly pulling the rug from beneath the conventional ranges of opposition” from nations like Australia or Japan.
Lastly, Rudd particulars why Beijing is extra fearful that it needs to confess about diplomatic pushback towards China’s territorial overreach in Asia with issues just like the Quad.

China absolutely needs people like Ian and Kevin to misinformed the world on Chinese related issues. The more they so called insider Chinese knowledge and share their specious geopolitical thoughts, the less the Chinese is distracted to pursue her long term goal, that is to raise the living standard of ordinary Chinese to the western standards. So yes, let the US and her elites keep playing useless their geopolitical games, Quarts and AKUS and carriers groups at the Chinese front door, while China is reengineer her economy and getting stronger by the day.
Kevin Rudd an expert on international politics. Got booted out as an Australia Prime Minister by his own party. Because he is such arse. Now trousering dollars from gullible Americans telling them what they want to hear. Still an arse.
O Micron? Omi Cron
The end of the CCP and the single party model is nigh. You cant have your people become wealthy and not give them political freedom. Its human nature for people to protect their individual interests, particularly wealth.
It is really incredible, in these days of instant n widespread communication, these ostriches still think that they can fool the world with misinfo n disinfo.
Has it ever occurred to you the reason for China to close its boarder is because they care about their people and don't want their citizens to get sick and die?
arrogant
Always admire Rudd's wisdom. However, in this interview, following the prejudice of the host, his statement about the Sino-Indian border conflict was too politicized.
Excellent Kevin. The nice talk will sooth the sentiment. of the uninformed Westerners, while Chinese quietly taking actions to patch up any remaining concern in the big strategic play. Thanks again Kevin.
Ian, Americas a mess because of itself you can't keep blaming China for everything. So biased Rudd hasn't been to China in 20 years he knows nothing. 😂
If the world has followed what China has handled the Covid, we would all be Covid free by now. Instead, the West would only criticize China's draconian style restrictions. Well, look at what's happening now. China is almost Covid free and the West has more cases than ever after 2 years later. So who is doing a better job?
kevin rudd can not get money from china, so he blame everything is china's fault
no, i absolutely disagree, it is indian fault. it would be childish to say China's fault. you just have to see the general picture. pakistan China nepal bangladesh all against india that will tell you who is the fault.
Kevin is just another western stooge. His opinion are biased and prejudiced.
out of power and out of relevance
Kevin Rudd comment is right, though one thing need to be clear.
Hitler style Triple Entente aka AUKUS is a pretext for every war, and added with military purchase, is shows US already down Hitler path.
Second, QUAD also follow the same Quadruple Entente with Hitler style.
Kev. You are talking rubbish based on China 14 yrs ago. Things have changed.
Kevin: do remember we are the people, thus democracy/freedom/equality . . . all these humanities are belonged to all. Therefore, when you infer your reasoning to reach yours the conclusion you must include the rights of the people in all. Of course, can not exclude the majority, "Chinese", whom are principal of the subject matter at issue! 凱文:請記住我們是人民,因此是民主/自由/平等 . . . 所有這些人文學科都屬於所有人。 因此,當您推斷您的推理以得出您的結論時,您必須將人民的權利包括在內。 當然,不能排除大多數 “中國人”,誰才是主旨主體的主人!
Kevin Rudd is the ultimate double agent.
Every country had its own ways of resolving this Covid issue, China had zero tolerance and others had their own. Chinese had no problem with that but the west had. All countries in trade between each other had the right to negotiate and China had no problem as long as all party agreed. Forming a club that try to contain and bully another country is unfair, that is what QUAD, AUKUS, etc is all about.
Anything involving India will ends in disappointment! 😂 so the Quad is effectively dead!
Asia looks like the historic Europé. When ever a country gets to powerfui, 3 to 5 other countries form an Alliance to put it down.
