Businesses ‘cautiously optimistic’ as Albanese prepares to visit China
Australian business groups are “cautiously optimistic” a visit to China by Anthony Albanese will help normalise a fragile relationship with Beijing.
We have to stop seeing risk and opportunity as opposites and the challenge for Australia generally, is to engage with China in a way that’s both commercially smart and politically durable.

Peter had a big vision for Sydney and Rosehill and I’ll always respect him for that. We’d love him to stay on, but Peter has elected to pass on the baton. He’s been a gentleman throughout – even in the face of tough debates – and always acted with integrity.
