Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Bali
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with his Chinese counterpart in what is being described as a “positive” encounter.
Albanese told Xi Australia wants to work with China, in the interests of both countries and regional peace.
It follows a tumultuous time between the two nations regarding a number of issues, including trade agreements, the origins of Covid-19 and reports of Beijing’s human rights violations.
The Australian PM refused to ignore his countries previous complaints with Beijing on these fronts.
On China’s trade embargo on Australia, Albanese explained this meeting was never meant for finding a resolution.
The meeting spanned 32 minutes as the G20 summit continues in Indonesia.
China’s president has refused to have a formal meeting with an Australian leader since Malcolm Turnbull in 2016.
The Australia-China relationship may be putting their differences aside, as they look to a more prosperous future, in the best interest of both nations.
During the previous Morrison government in Australia, relations had soured. However, Xi is now sounding much more optimistic about the country down under.
Ukraine war
When it came to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Albanese encouraged Xi use his relationship to influence Russia when it comes to nuclear weapons.
Human rights violations
Australia has long condemned China when it comes to allegations of human rights abuses within the country, particularly against the Uyghur population.
The Australian leader “put forward the differences we have on human rights issues” specifically regarding detained Australian journalist Cheng Lei.
Albanese also reaffirmed Australia’s stance on Taiwan and worsening climate change too.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
