A Week in China: Albanese’s Visit Beyond the Photo Ops

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s six-day visit to China was a diplomatic reset that marks the full restoration of trade ties after years of friction. While the trip was framed around economics, the stakes were far broader, as tensions simmer over Taiwan, defense, and Australia’s balancing act between its biggest trading partner and its key security ally, the US.

They also explore what China wants next from the relationship — and how much Canberra is actually willing to give.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
