Anthony Albanese talks trade and defence with China's leaders
Published 15 July 2025, 8:52 am
Australia has raised the Chinese live firing drills directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping in a critical high level meeting in Beijing. While Anthony Albanese said the contentious policy to return the Chinese leased port of Darwin was not raised in the hour-long meeting with the president, defence and security did feature. The lengthy engagement involved repeated reference to free and open trade, a veiled reference to Washington DC's tariffs, which are already affecting China's economic growth forecasts with flow on impacts for Australia.

Anthony Albanese pitches for peace at the Great Wall of China
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made a pitch for global peace during his visit to the Great Wall of China. On his visit, he advocated for Ukraine in its war with Russia, even though Moscow and Beijing are drawing closer. China and Russia remain close allies, and on the same day Mr Albanese met Chinese President Xi Jinping, Xi also welcomed Russia's foreign minister to Beijing ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit later this year. 'Our position on Ukraine is consistent, it's clear, is advocated publicly and privately,' Mr Albanese said. Prime Minister Albanese is seeking to foster a great relationship, built on strong foundations and a stable environment.
