CANBERRA, June 17 — Australia ’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Chinese Premier Li Qiang will meet today in the first such visit to the country by a Chinese premier in seven years, with trade ties, regional security and a jailed Australia n writer on the host’s agenda.
Protesters and supporters gathered on Monday morning on the lawn outside parliament house in Canberra, where there was a heavy police presence, as a ceremonial welcome was held for Li. Trade with China increased Australia’s average household disposable income by A$2,600 last year, contributing 595,600 jobs or 4.2 per cent of total employment, said the study by Curtin University and the Australia China Business Council.
Li’s visit will likely raise the issue of whether Australia will continue to accept high levels of Chinese investment in its critical minerals sector, as Western security allies push to reduce reliance on Beijing for the rare earths vital to electric vehicles. Australia last month blocked several Chinese investors from increasing stakes in a rare earths miner on national interest grounds.
