Arguably the biggest submarine program in the Western world outside of the United States, Australia\u2019s submarine development continues to raise concerns about cost. ASPI\u2019s Michael Shoebridge and Marcus Hellyer examine the outcomes of the recent Senate estimates hearings in relation to the underwater program, and what the life-of-type upgrades mean for the submarine\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

ASPI\u2019s Mapping China\u2019s Tech Giants<\/a> project provides an overview of the global impact of Chinese technology companies. Tom Uren is joined by Fergus Ryan and Daria Impiombato for a discussion on how US sanctions have impacted the growth of these organisations, and how the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s political influence creates privacy concerns.<\/p>\n

In a conversation on nation-building, ASPI\u2019s John Coyne and Gill Savage discuss how Australia can rethink its approach to infrastructure in a post-Covid-19 environment. Using the Port of Townsville as an example<\/a>, they discuss how greater cooperation between regional, state and national governments can achieve economic, social and environmental prosperity.<\/p>\n
