Abstract

Chinese studies in Australia has been a colonial phenomenon since it was first
introduced in the mid-twentieth century. By ‘colonial’, we are referring to
British colonial legacies, to the impact of European traditions and their influences on the political and socio-economic systems, to Australia’s relationship
with other countries such as America and China, to the university system
inherited from Britain, and to the pernicious White Australia policy, which was
formally dismantled only in the 1970s. All these affected the construction of
Chinese studies. Some of these impacts have decreased over time, some have
increased, but all continue to affect the Australia-China relations as well as
Chinese studies in Australia.
