Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s recent six-day visit to China signals a significant thaw in bilateral relations after years of tension. The trip focused on strengthening economic ties, particularly trade, while carefully avoiding direct confrontation on contentious issues like Taiwan. Albanese’s approach was marked by pragmatism, balancing Australia’s strategic alliance with the US and its economic dependence on China. The visit was generally hailed as a diplomatic success, though critics argued that more concrete outcomes were needed. Overall, the trip reflects Australia’s effort to chart an independent, strategic path in a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape.
