The Spin

Narrative A

Australia has done an excellent job managing the delicate diplomatic tensions with China while considering the daily experience of its citizens with Chinese heritage. Although COVID put a strain on Australia’s relationship with China, misplaced racial animosity from the pandemic seems to be in the past.

Narrative B

Although it’s promising that Chinese-Australians are reporting less racism compared to years past, there are still far too many instances of racially motivated abuse. Discrimination should never be tolerated, and 21% of Chinese-Australians reporting that they were called offensive names is unacceptable. Australia must continue its progress toward equality and fair treatment.
