Summary The spectre of the 'yellow peril' has long haunted the Australian imagination. Geoffrey Blainey looks at how this unease has shaped our attitudes and policies toward China. One hundred years ago, there were more Chinese in Australia than any other race, except the British. They had come to take our gold and found competition, misunderstanding and intolerance. Blainey traces the influence of the Chinese in Australia and asks whether we have now turned a corner in our relations with China.
