The world's responsibilities are clear: these barbaric war crimes must be investigated; perpetrators must face justice; and Ukraine cannot afford for the West to become distracted.

Kevin Rudd has hit back at Scott Morrison’s attacks on Labor’s economic credentials, saying the Prime Minister would be “lucky” to have an economic record anything like his.

Mr Rudd told AAP on Wednesday the coalition government's own budget papers showed the Labor government he had led delivered lower taxes, spending, debt and waste, and higher wage growth.

Scott Morrison talks about so-called “Rudd economics”. But what does he actually mean? Morrison’s own budget papers show the Rudd Government consistently delivered lower taxes, lower spending, lower debt, lower waste and higher wage growth than under his government.

Former Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd is a long time scholar of China. In his new book, The Avoidable War, he argues that it is cultural misunderstanding and historical grievance which make Chinese-US relations so volatile.

Hank welcomes Kevin Rudd (26th Prime Minister of Australia and President of the Asia Society Policy Institute) to Straight Talk to discuss what motivated him to write his newest book, The Avoidable War, managed strategic competition and building strategic trust, China-Russia relations and the impact of the latter’s invasion of Ukraine, and US-China and the potential for decoupling or establishing a stable relationship.

The world’s attention is rightly focused on the unfolding horror in Ukraine. Images of destruction and death wrought across that nation, and the harrowing experiences of refugees fleeing in their millions, testify to the tragic reality of war. And in the capitals of Europe, something once thought an impossibility—a large-scale 21st century war on the continent—has now become all too real, awakening once idealistic nations to the hard truth that such senselessness violence has not been eliminated from our modern, globalized world.

On March 22, 2022, the Honorable Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia and current President and CEO of the Asia Society, joined the Elliott School of International Affairs to discuss his new book, The Avoidable War: The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping's China. The presentation is followed by a conversation between Hon. Kevin Rudd and David Shambaugh, the Gaston Sigur Professor of Asian Studies, Political Science, and International Affairs at GW, and an extensive Q&A with the audience.

We shouldn't imagine a US-China conflict in our region would be a limited to a few battleships duelling in the Taiwan Straits. Governments need to put in place guardrails to prevent us getting to that point.

US-China competition can follow two paths: 'unmanaged' strategic competition (with no road rules, no guardrails & greater risk of catastrophe) or 'managed' strategic competition (and may the best system win).

Xi Jinping’s political modus operandi when confronted with a challenge — either foreign or domestic— is to double down; to crash through or crash.
