Anthony Albanese will soon be the first Australian prime minister in 7 years to visit China

Associated Press  

CANBERRA, Australia — Anthony Albanese will become the first Australian prime minister in seven years to visit China in recognition that bilateral relations have improved after crashing to unprecedented depths over trade and security differences that remain largely unresolved. “It’s in Australia’s interest to have good relations with China,” Albanese told reporters in October, when he announced the trip. No significant announcements are expected during Albanese’s largely symbolic visit, which comes close to the 50th anniversary of the first trip by an Australian prime minister to the People’s Republic of China. He said China would use the visit to work with Australia to expand cooperation “in the spirit of mutual respect, mutual benefit and seeking common ground while reserving differences.” Shi Yinhong, an international relations professor at Beijing’s Renmin University of China, said the Chinese wanted to improve trade relations after a “largely ineffective de facto boycott.” But Shi noted that not all the trade barriers had been lifted, although Australia is confident that steep tariffs on wine will be removed within months.
