2018 APEC summit possible turning point for China's powerplay in the Pacific

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › General Article

Abstract

Australia's doorstep neighbour Papua New Guinea has just acquired a strategic centrality not seen since 1942. The so-called Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit which concluded in Port Moresby yesterday was dominated by something else: the emerging geopolitical contest of the Indo-Pacific. Just northeast of Port Moresby, Australian resistance along the Kokoda track blunted the advance of imperial Japanese troops in the brutal Pacific war.
