Inside Politics: Spectacle aside, has Albanese thawed China's deep freeze?

This week Anthony Albanese completed his first visit to China as prime minister - the first official top-level visit in about seven years. Greeting Albanese in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Australia and China have “worked out some problems”. Albanese said the pace of bilateral visits was increasing, and trade has begun to flow more freely between the countries. It’s a fresh start for Australian-Chinese relations, after a years-long diplomatic and economic freeze, which included disputes over China’s military threats towards Taiwan, the cases of several Australians detained in China, and the $20 billion in trade embargoes. Today, chief political correspondent David Crowe and north asia correspondent Eryk Bagshaw discuss the trip and what it means for the relationship going forward.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
