He has sent two interesting and personal recollections to SPOCA on this occasion, both to do with his time in China. The first one was in the form of a link to an article which appeared in Quadrant in 2020 (click here to read). Just in case the article is archived by Quadrant, it has been copied into our own archives and is shown below (or is available in a separate window for possible easier perusal, here).

Ted's other contribution, also about experiences in China, takes the form of three short essays providing some personal observations and insights into a number of well-known political figures during the 1970s. They appear below the 'Junior Diplomat' piece, and are also available by clicking here for readers who prefer to see them as a separate (and downloadable) document.
