Robert Barwick, Research Director of the Australian Citizens Party, is calling on critics of China to replace rhetoric with reality. He urges Australians to visit China and engage in genuine, person-to-person exchanges, instead of relying solely on official narratives or media framing. Barwick warns that Western calls for economic decoupling—such as those from the UK's Henry Jackson Society—are based on fear and ideology, not facts. True understanding, he argues, can only come from direct experience.
