Supper Club with Bill Birtles

When ABC China correspondent Bill Birtles was rushed out of China, he left it without foreign correspondents for the first time in decades.

In The Truth About China, Bill shares the details of his abrupt departure, and its personal impacts. It’s a thrilling and provocative account, filled with people, stories and sticky situations.
A journalist’s perspective on this rising global power has never been more important, as Australia’s relationship with China undergoes extraordinary change. In stories of his travels, Birtles reveals why the historic unravelling of China’s relations with the West is perceived very differently inside the country.

Bill Birtles was the ABC’s China correspondent from 2015 to 2020; his post ended suddenly in an unprecedented diplomatic standoff. He is now the ABC’s Indonesia Bureau Chief, based in Jakarta.
