Our CEO Tim Ford was delighted to visit The Great Hall at Parliament House in Canberra earlier this week to attend the official state reception for Chinese Premier Li Qiang, hosted by Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Over 300 business and political leaders from across Australia were invited to attend this lunch in honor of the Australia-China relationship. The importance of two-way trade was a key theme of the reception, along with announced changes for those wishing to visit China from Australia. Premier Li’s visit demonstrates the strengthening of relations between China and Australia, along with the resumption of high-level economic dialogue, important steps towards a more stable relationship and a more secure region. #TWE #Australia #China

Wishful thinking. We’re going back to pre-2017 with the PRC. Australia cannot survive without its great and powerful friends, and, carving out another path would be too painful for Australian businesses that profited so much from trade with China. From a resource perspective we are Beijing’s jewel in the crown. China doesn’t need the control us through war. They just need our ‘follow the money’ crowd of neoliberal elites. They’ll sell our country out faster than you can whistle Waltzing Matilda. Guaranteed. Perhaps it is no wonder that our American partners might be a little jaded at Canberra’s positioning under Albanese. Can we have our trade with China & AUKUS too? A doubtful proposition. We’ve had years of debate in Australia about placating China and the U.S. simultaneously. That Australia could pull off this Houdini-like foreign policy & ‘she’ll be right.’ The greedy Chinese will want access to our resources, the aggressive American ‘globo-cop’ needs Australia as a stable fire base in the Pacific. But do either need a too clever by half Canberra? Leaning too far toward China will always risk alienating the U.S. from us. This is a dangerous game & our sovereignty, while always imperilled by weak, craven & unimaginative political leadership might be snuffed out completely.

"A great challenge of life: Knowing enough to think you're doing it right, but not enough to know you're doing it wrong."
More upside than downsides. But risks remain for Albanese, but I think he won't raise SCS and Taiwan in a manner that will offend China, irritate yes, offend no. "He needs to use some of that infamous Australian directness and sense of fair play to make strong demands while he is in Beijing, to get more give-and-take out of the Sino-Australian relationship." Give and take is a losing strategy. It is transactional. It suggests that Australia has a price, and if China can afford the price - it can get what it wants. Australia should strive to be a reliable, strategic partner - but that might be a bridge too far for the first meeting. Right now, China wants trade because its economic growth is stagnating. But it is not willing to budge on Taiwan, equally unwilling to budge on SCS - that requires time, trust building and discussion. Therefore, Australia should continue to diversify its trading partners to prevent itself from being bullied again. But getting Chinese companies to set up in Australia like CATL may not be a bad idea - just that the China peril narrative needs to be toned down and reversed. That might be harder than getting China to talk openly about Taiwan.

Under Prime Minister Albanese’s administration, Australia recognized that trade with China is worth more than trade with Japan, the US, and South Korea combined. Normalizing Australia-China relations viz-a-viz complementary economies should be set as a priority. For China, Australia stands as an important partner, not only in regard to natural and renewable resources but also as having an ally among the Western powers through which it can control a hold over economic as well as political maneuvers. Consequently, for Australia, shaping a clear policy is necessary as it needs to act with great prudence and analyze its steps in any matter. Australian economic benefits lie with both the US and China, so siding with one will only cause problems.

Very interesting take on Chinese politics by Stephen Roach! The dismissal of China's foreign minister, Qin Gang, is a big deal with significant implications. Stephen Roach highlights how Qin's rapid downfall, despite being considered a rising star closely associated with Xi Jinping, raises questions about Chinese governance and leadership. This event adds to the complexities of Chinese politics, leaving observers wondering about Xi's leadership style. Amidst China's challenges like a weak economy and tensions with the United States, Qin's sudden removal could have a corrosive impact on China's global image and its aspirations of being a great power. The reasons behind his dismissal remain unclear, fueling intrigue and uncertainty. https://lnkd.in/egUa45pn

On news that Australia’s embassy in Beijing has issued an invitation from Foreign Minister Penny Wong for her newly reappointed counterpart from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Wang Yi, to visit Canberra, replacing an invitation sent to Qin Gang, who was replaced by Wang Yi as PRC Foreign Minister last week, UTS:ACRI Director James Laurenceson tells the South China Morning Post SCMP: “There’s no downside from an Australian perspective in Wang Yi’s return. Penny Wong already knows Wang Yi well as they both sought to stabilise the relationship last year, and Wang has more clout in China’s political hierarchy than Qin did.” He adds, “In the next week or so Beijing will need to decide whether to lift the tariffs on barley. The question then is whether Beijing remains committed to setting aside differences, focusing on areas of mutual benefit, and continuing to chart the more positive trajectory the bilateral relationship has been on.” Read: https://bit.ly/43SrdIX
