Episode description
It’s been a long time coming, but Prime Minister Anthony Albanese finally met Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
The friendly meeting is in stark contrast to our diplomatic relationship in recent years, when China wasn’t picking up the phone to Australia.
So how did it go? Why are both leaders so keen to restore ties? And can the relationship be repaired without compromise?
Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper Karen Middleton, on Albanese’s four days in China.
