Summary
This document is page 1 of 10 of a transcript of a speech given by former Australian PM Kevin Rudd in Singapore on June 26, 2018. The speech analyzes Xi Jinping's foreign policy and the 2018 Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs. While the content is geopolitical, the Bates stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026856' indicates this document was obtained during the House Oversight Committee's investigation, likely due to Rudd's inclusion in Epstein's contact lists or schedules.

On 22-23 June 2018, the Chinese Communist Party concluded its Central Conference on Work
Relating to Foreign Affairs, the second since Xi Jinping became General Secretary of the Party
and Chairman of the Central Military Commission in November 2012. The last one was held in
November 2014. These are not everyday affairs in the party’s deliberations on the great
questions of China’s unfolding global engagement.
Relating to Foreign Affairs, the second since Xi Jinping became General Secretary of the Party
and Chairman of the Central Military Commission in November 2012. The last one was held in
November 2014. These are not everyday affairs in the party’s deliberations on the great
questions of China’s unfolding global engagement.
These conferences are major, authoritative gatherings of the entire leadership, designed to
synthesise China’s official analysis of international trends, and assess how China should
anticipate and respond to them in the prosecution of its own national interests. This one, like
the last one, was presided over by Xi Jinping and attended by all seven members of the
politburo standing committee, plus ex-officio member Vice President Wang Qishan, together
with all other eighteen members of the regular politburo, in addition to everybody who is
anybody in the entire Chinese foreign, security, military, economic, trade, finance, cyber and
intelligence community, as well as the central think tank community.

It’s a meeting that’s meant to be noticed by the entire Chinese international policy
establishment, because if there is to be any new directive concerning China’s place in the
world, it’s likely to be found somewhere in Xi Jinping’s 3,000 character report to this
conference.

Of course, the entire deliberations of the conference are not made public. Three-and-a-half
years ago, only a selected part of it was broadcast and reported in the central media. The
same this time as well. And unlike in Washington, the Chinese system doesn’t leak every
twelve hours. There is, therefore, an often hazardous reading of the tea leaves in interpreting
what it all means, discerning what is new, what is new-ish, and what is not.
