Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has sharpened his calls for China to remove all remaining trade restrictions on Australia at the G7.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has sharpened his calls for China to remove all remaining trade restrictions on Australia as he prepares to meet world leaders at the G7, where Beijing’s use of economic coercion will dominate key forums.
The trade strikes were first condemned by the G7 last year, but China’s use of economic coercion is now expected to become a key part of the final leaders’ communiqué released on Sunday. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida raised responses to China, North Korea and Russia in his meetings with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Thursday.
“I have been invited to visit the People’s Republic of China, I’ve always said that we would warmly welcome engagement on the relationship with China,” he said. “We will starve Russia of G7 technology, industrial equipment and services that support its war machine.” Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday called for the “brethren in Central Asia” to unite against attempts to divide the China-Central Asia Summit in Xian. Beijing is hosting the summit at the same time as the G7 as it looks to push its vision for an international order less dominated by those gathered in Hiroshima.
