"Albanese's Visit to China: Navigating Thawing Ties and Trade Normalcy"
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to visit China, marking the first visit by an Australian PM since 2016. The visit comes as relations between the two countries have begun to thaw, with trade being a key focus. China is Australia's largest trading partner, accounting for almost a third of its trade. While economic ties have been strained in recent years due to political tensions, export restrictions have gradually eased. However, the future of trade between the two nations remains uncertain, with challenges such as tariffs on Australian wine and a slowdown in China's economic growth.
