Australian PM Anthony Albanese wants to ask China's Xi Jinping to lift trade barriers

The Hindu  

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, on November 11, he would ask Chinese President Xi Jinping to lift billions of dollars in trade barriers in the event that the two leaders hold their first bilateral meeting. That is not in Australia’s interest in terms of our jobs and the economy, but it’s also not in China’s interest,” Mr. Albanese said. China’s Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian said in August that Beijing would discuss with Australia whether conditions were right in November for Mr. Albanese to meet Xi during the G20 summit. China’s People’s Daily English-language newspaper reported this week that “signs of resetting bilateral ties have emerged” since Mr. Albanese’s centre-left Labor Party came to power in May. Mr. Albanese said Australia has “strategic competition in the region” with China.
