The Prime Minister’s discussion with President Xi Jinping and other prominent figures has been lauded through positive editorials featured in the Global Times, an English-language publication overseen by China’s principal newspaper, the People’s Daily, which is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party.

Accompanied by a cartoon illustration of a panda and a kangaroo with a “cooperation” sign, the article expressed that China anticipates “China-Australia relations to progress smoothly at high altitudes”.

The editorial mentions, “Albanese emphasized Australia’s appreciation for its relationship with China, its commitment to the one-China policy, and the fact that Australia has never aimed to sever ties with China’s economy.”

“He has demonstrated a pragmatic and rational approach to China policy.”

The writer heaped praise on Albanese for having wisdom in “seeking harmony without uniformity” during his meeting with Chinese leaders.

It was also noted that after a bumpy road for relations between China and Australia, that after a storm comes a “rainbow”.

“The turnaround in China-Australia relations reflects the genuine expectations of both peoples,” the piece added.

“It also demonstrates that China and Australia are opportunities for each other’s development.”

Additionally, it states, “It is anticipated that through this process, Australia’s more reasoned and broad perspective on China will foster greater strategic trust and establish a basis for elevated cooperation in the future.”

A separate article published in China Daily said Albanese’s allyship with China was in stark difference to his predecessor Scott Morrison.

“Albanese’s visit shows that the Australian side has a clearer judgment and understanding of China than it had under the previous Scott Morrison government,” the article noted.

The same publication said Albanese had achieved a “turnaround” in Chinese-Australia relations.

During his diplomatic visit to China, the PM has met with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang.

Albanese’s office said the visit would see the leaders exchange views on global and regional issues, along with bilateral cooperation on areas such as trade and tourism.

The PM said earlier today that a lot of “respect” between Australia and China has been on display so far.

Yesterday’s roundtable saw also Premier Li call on his country and Australia to work closer together in the face of “destabilising factors” and growing “protectionist measures”.
