Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visited Australia on the 15th, marking the first Chinese premier visit to Australia since 2017. During a speech, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese mistakenly referred to him as the late former premier 'Li Keqiang.' This slip-up led to a brief awkward moment. The visit symbolizes a warming of Sino-Australian relations, with Li Keqiang even writing 'eternal friendship between China and Australia' in the Australian Parliament visitor book, citing a significant shift in tone from Chinese officials towards the relationship. Additionally, former Chinese state media host Cheng Lei made a surprise appearance at the press conference, drawing attention due to her past controversies and the unusual behavior of Chinese embassy officials trying to block her during the event.
