Anthony Albanese: Trade Trumps Geopolitics as Australia PM Visits China
CHINA, JUL 11 – Albanese meets Chinese leaders and business executives amid $312 billion trade ties and heightened scrutiny of Chinese investments in Australia, focusing on regional security and economic cooperation.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will undertake a six-day trip to China beginning Saturday, visiting the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu, where he will hold discussions with high-level Chinese officials.
- The trip follows a period of strained ties triggered by disputes and unofficial Chinese bans on A$20 billion of Australian exports imposed since 2020.
- Albanese will travel with a business delegation from mining, banking, and education sectors to strengthen trade, tourism, and economic cooperation amid regional security tensions.
- Last year, Australia's trade with China reached A$312 billion, representing close to one-third of the nation's overall trade, a figure that Albanese says is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.
- The visit aims to deepen economic ties while allowing honest discussions on security concerns, signalling a stabilisation of bilateral relations despite ongoing geopolitical differences.
