Anthony Albanese will soon become the first Australian prime minister in seven years to visit China in recognition of improving bilateral relations.
FILE - Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese briefs the media during a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz after a meeting at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany, on July 10, 2023. Anthony Albanese will on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 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 differences over trade and security that remain largely unresolved.
“It’s in Australia’s interest to have good relations with China,” Albanese told reporters last month when he announced the trip. The Australian Parliament passed national security legislation that banned covert foreign interference in domestic politics and made industrial espionage for a foreign power a crime. Two months later, the government banned Chinese-owned telecommunications giant Huawei from rolling out its 5G network in Australia due to unspecified security concerns.
“That’s the balance that we’re all cursed with finding,” Blanchett said, likening Australia’s position to that of Japan and South Korea.
