Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made his first visit to New Zealand and Australia in 7 years this week in an attempt to break the US containment strategy through the AUKUS alliance between the US, UK, and Australia. Li aimed to strengthen economic and trade cooperation with New Zealand and Australia while facing increasing restrictions from the US and the EU against China. Li also announced a visa waiver for New Zealand and focused on strengthening multi-level relationships between China, New Zealand, and Malaysia. He is expected to visit Australia next to meet with Prime Minister Albanese and potentially announce the lifting of remaining trade restrictions and sign new cooperation agreements, contributing to improving Sino-Australian relations.
