Australia backs ‘status quo' amid US pressure on Taiwan
Anthony Albanese has been asked point blank what Australia would do if the US and China 'went to war over Taiwan'. Washington has reportedly been pressing Canberra on the matter as the Trump administration turns its attention to an 'imminent' China threat in the Indo Pacific. A Chinese invasion of Taiwan, which is democratically self-governing, would cause mayhem for global shipping lines and disrupt the supply of semiconductors — crucial tech components. Speaking to reporters in Shanghai, the Prime Minister struck a cautious tone. 'Our aim of investing in our capability and as well investing in our relationships, is about advancing peace and security in our region,' he said, as stone-faced Chinese officials watched from the sidelines. Mr Albanese said he had no plans of changing Australia's 'consistent position' on Taiwan's future. 'We support the status quo when it comes to Taiwan,' he said. 'We don't support any unilateral action there. We have a clear position, and we have been consistent about that.' In somewhat of a veiled shot at Trump administration, he went on to say it was 'important' in international relationships to 'have a stable, orderly, coherent position going forward'. 'Australia does we want peace and security in our region,' Mr Albanese said. 'We don't want any change to the status quo - that's Australia's position today, that was Australia's position last week, that's been a bipartisan position for a long period of time.' He was pressed on whether the US had sought assurances that any nuclear-powered submarines acquired under AUKUS would be deployed in a conflict over Taiwan. Mr Albanese kept tight-lipped, only saying that 'through the AUKUS agreement' all stakeholder countries had 'very clear understandings of what AUKUS is for'. 'We want peace and security in our region,' he said. 'We don't change our position on a day to day basis - that is what the world needs and that is what we'll continue to do.' Pressed further on any private conversation with the Americans, Mr Albanese shot back: 'Private by definition, that's in private.' 'You don't take private comments at a media conference,' he said. 'We engage in a mature way. That's the way that we do with our relationships.'

China becomes bright spot at uncertain time: SCMP's ‘Summer Davos' highlights
For those attending the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions this week, 'uncertainty' was the inescapable word. It could be found on the lips of almost everyone; senior Chinese officials, global executives, foreign academics and thought leaders from all fields. This should not come as a surprise. Simmering regional tensions, unpredictable policy pivots from Washington and a foggy picture for global trade were all top of mind as speakers and panelists gathered in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin for the forum, also known as 'Summer Davos'. There, they discussed whether the world will continue to lurch from one crisis to another and how to build consensus in a fraught moment for globalisation. Cross-border investment, structural shifts in China's economy and supply chain security amid the Israel-Iran conflict were also topics of interest. Sentiment was not entirely negative, however. Technological advancement stood out as a bright spot, with many praising China's rapid development of AI and humanoid robotics as an area of vast growth opportunities. To help readers sift through the hours of discussion, we have gathered standout stories from the Post's 'Summer Davos' coverage below. In his keynote address, the premier pledged that China's consumption growth will be a benefit for the global economy, inviting businesses from overseas to invest and enter the country's market to share in the gains.
