Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Tuesday that he will visit China starting this Saturday, with stops in Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu, as Beijing seeks to deepen cooperation on AI, green energy, and the digital economy. It will be his second visit to China since being re-elected in May, following a landmark trip in 2023 that ended a seven-year diplomatic freeze. Albanese stressed the importance of maintaining dialogue with China despite ongoing differences between the two nations. His visit comes amid Beijing’s push to review the decade-old free trade agreement to strengthen ties in agriculture, mining, and emerging technologies. Meanwhile, Chinese Ambassador Xiao Qian said that his government is willing to review the agreement with a more open attitude and higher standard.
