Comments in Nov. from PM Albanese on 🇹🇼's CPTPP accession looked to me like a gaff & not a shift in 🇦🇺's position (the gov.'s subsequent walk back is consistent w/ that interpretation). But Kevin Magee offers a different & dramatic assessment: "Despite claims to the contrary...

ICYMI: the audio/video of @acri_uts webinar last week featuring both serving 🇦🇺/🇨🇳 ambassadors, as well as towering figures in 🇦🇺/🇨🇳 diplomacy, Dr Stephen Fitzgerald and Madame Fu Ying, is now available. An informative & insightful discussion. @UTSEngage australiachinarelations.org/…
An absolute pleasure to take part in the 12th @ACYDialogue in Perth. Couldn’t imagine a more fitting theme than Managing Ambiguity to generate fascinating discussions among incredible delegates, resulting in optimistic, tangible strategies for advancing the 🇦🇺-🇨🇳 relationship.

This shot from @smh - Australia's new(ish) Prime Minister Anthony Albanese meets China's lame duck No.2 leader, Premier Li Keqiang, who is on the way out. Yes it's the highest level contact between Australian and Chinese leaders since 2019... but... Xi's the one that counts.
