Australia and China cannot maintain their standards of living without doing business with each other. But that relationship will be tested by climate change.
Prime Minister Albanese will land in Beijing this week on the 50th anniversary of Gough Whitlam becoming the first Australian prime minister to visit in November 1973, after establishing diplomatic relations with the Peoples’ Republic of China the previous year.
The Australia-China economic relationship, because of its structure and importance to the Chinese steel industry and in energy use, invests special urgency in both countries to address the critical shared challenge of carbon emissions and their impact on climate change.
Mr Albanese began to articulate that strategy when he positioned Australia as a “constructive middle power with global interests” in his final speech in Washington before heading to Beijing.
