Sold Out – The Last Correspondent
RACV/RACT Hotel, 154-156 Collins Street, Hobart TAS 7000
A late-night visit to his Shanghai laneway house by China’s notorious secret police triggered a diplomatic storm which abruptly ended Michael Smith’s stint as one of Australia’s last foreign correspondents in China. After five days under consular protection, Smith was evacuated from a very different China to the country he first visited 25 years earlier.
The Last Correspondent explores what China’s rise to become the world’s newest superpower means for Australia and the rest of the world.
Michael will be joined in conversation by former ABC Broadcaster, Annie Warburton.
Join them at the RACV Hotel.
