Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited Canberra and held talks with Australian Prime Minister Albanese, highlighting the improved relationship between the two nations after a period of tension. During the meeting, human rights issues, trade cooperation, and the situation of Australian citizen Cheng Lei, who was sentenced in China, were discussed. Cheng Lei's presence at the signing ceremony between the two leaders was obstructed by Chinese officials, drawing media attention. Both sides emphasized the importance of open dialogue and cooperation, with Li Qiang unilaterally opening a 15-day visa waiver for Australian citizens. Pro- and anti-China demonstrators clashed outside Parliament House during Li's visit, with individuals representing Tibetan, Uyghur, and Hong Kong communities protesting on human rights grounds.
