Chinese Premier Li Qiang is due to arrive in Australia soon on a relations-mending mission. Panda diplomacy, rock lobsters and China’s global dominance in the critical minerals sector are high on the agenda.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang visits Plant & Food Research facility in Auckland, New Zealand on Friday, June 14, 2024. Li, China ’s No. 2 official, is the first Chinese premier to visit New Zealand since a 2017 visit by Li Keqiang and will also travel to Australia and Malaysia, China ’s Foreign Ministry said this week.
“I’d be very confident that the visit this week will result in a very successful outcome for lobster producers,” Farrell told reporters Wednesday. “Beijing, now that the coercion campaign is over, wants to … turn the page and launch into a more expansive, more positive, more cooperative bilateral relationship,” Herscovitch told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Citing Australia’s national interests, Treasurer Jim Chalmers recently ordered five Chinese-linked companies to divest their shares in rare earths mining company Northern Minerals. While the bilateral economic relationship is recovering from plumbing new lows in recent years, the security relationship between the two free trading partners appears to be more tense.
He left New Zealand on Saturday, ending a three-day visit to a country with which China has enjoyed a more harmonious relationship than it has with Australia. Li described China and New Zealand as “good friends.”
