Anthony Albanese ‘terrified’ of upsetting the Chinese

The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan has criticised Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for seeming “terrified” of upsetting the Chinese. Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited Parliament House on Monday. Sky News journalist Cheng Lei was blocked by Chinese officials at a media event between Mr Li and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. “He seems to be terrified of upsetting the Chinese,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. “I think the China relationship is a real conundrum for Australia because we get rich out of the trade … but they are a really malevolent strategic actor.”
