Albanese Visits China to Deepen Trade and Tech Ties

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to make his second official visit to China this week to reinforce trade, technology, and green energy ties. The trip highlights efforts to further stabilize and expand China-Australia relations, which have improved over the past three years. China is proposing to expand the existing free trade agreement to cover artificial intelligence and the digital economy, aligning with Australia's economic interests. The visit occurs amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly as Australia balances its relationships with both China and the United States. The outcome of these discussions could shape Australia’s economic positioning in an era of rapid technological change and shifting global alliances.
