Recent editorials in the English-language Global Times, affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, have lauded Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s recent diplomatic meetings with President Xi Jinping and other leaders in China. Accompanied by a cartoon of a panda and kangaroo promoting "cooperation," the publication expressed optimism about the future trajectory of Australia-China relations, hoping for them to "cruise steadily in the stratosphere."

Albanese’s visit underscores Australia’s commitment to its relationship with China while reaffirming adherence to the one-China policy. He is credited with adopting a pragmatic stance in foreign policy, promoting harmony in dialogue without demanding uniformity of views. The editorial commended his diplomatic wisdom and noted the arduous journey that has marked China-Australia relations, suggesting that after challenges, brighter prospects now arise.

The willingness to mend ties reflects shared aspirations from both nations and signifies that opportunities for mutual development exist. An editorial articulated the hope that a more informed perspective on China from Australia would bolster strategic trust, paving the way for enhanced cooperation in the future.

Further commentary from China Daily suggested that Albanese’s approach markedly differed from that of his predecessor, Scott Morrison, indicating a sharper understanding of China under the current leadership. The article underscored the significant "turnaround" achieved in diplomatic relations during Albanese’s tenure.

During his visit, which included meetings with Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang, Albanese’s office communicated the importance of discussing global and regional matters, particularly in trade and tourism. The Prime Minister noted a positive atmosphere of mutual respect so far, while Premier Li emphasised the need for closer collaboration between Australia and China amidst global uncertainty and rising protectionism.

In essence, the recent high-level engagements hint at a renewed spirit in China-Australia relations, driven by a willingness to engage constructively and seek opportunities for collaboration.
