SHI YU/CHINA DAILY There is a prominent view in the Australian commentariat that bilateral ties between Australia and China are fragile. Last November, for example, the Australian government described actions by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy in the East China Sea as "unsafe and unprofessional". Following confirmation that Premier Li would have stops in Canberra, Adelaide and Perth, Prime Minister Albanese described the visit as "another important step in stabilizing our relationship with China". Peter Dutton, the leader of the Opposition, remarked that he, too, would "very much welcome" Premier Li's visit, adding that his intention was to "build the relationship with China" and that this would be "a very important part of the manifesto that we will take to the next election". In a similar vein, when the Joe Biden administration imposed export controls restricting China's access to advanced semiconductors in 2022, Trade Minister Don Farrell described them as "draconian".
