Australia's agricultural sector has an unlikely champion as it seeks access to the lucrative China market: Peter Dutton's Coalition. My story here on some interesting political dynamics in Canberra as the federal election approaches https://t.co/ipQueudpv0

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to make 🇦🇺🇨🇳 history next week when his gov closes Australia’s consulate in Shenyang. Will shrink Oz's diplomatic footprint in China for the first time since the Whitlam government recognised Beijing in 1972. My story here https://t.co/YseQk244cb https://t.co/jYvYdkwq7I

Haven’t tried Huawei’s made-in-China operating system yet, so can’t judge how it works — but not a fan of this “pure-blood” description. “The new smartphone… marks the first major commercial rollout of HarmonyOS NEXT, a ‘pure-blood’ version of Huawei’s own operating system” https://t.co/pHit3eqRW6

“In other words, there are about 396 Chinese students studying in the US for every one American student that's in China.” I believe the ratio for Australia is even more unbalanced. Do you have those stats @j_laurenceson?

The number of Chinese students in American colleges continued its decline during the 2023-24 school year, falling another 4.2% to 277,398, according to new IIE Open Doors report. That's a 34% drop from the 2019-20 peak of 372,532 students. https://t.co/arjRRknsmi

Rare to see senators from every party in the Australian parliament agreeing on something — but Jimmy Lai has brought them together. Senators from Labor, the Coalition and the Greens have condemned Hong Kong and Beijing govs over his trial. Story here https://t.co/Z5ZgD0YJRq https://t.co/Wp3jfVJTfC

An interesting trend since Australian and Chinese leaders resumed meeting is how often their encounters are shadowed by fresh, bad news. Hours after this G20 happy snap, 🇦🇺 Gordon Ng was sentenced to 7 years in Hong Kong’s latest pro-democracy crackdown https://t.co/lY37fTLDZV https://t.co/hfygVGutTS

“Large groups of supporters bearing miniature flags and banners of support have taken up residence outside the hotel accommodating Chinese president Xi … Inside, a phalanx of officials and strikingly tall security guards stride around as China Central Television blares…”

For those waking up in NZ, here's my wrap of the PM's day at Apec yday, including his first face to face meeting with Xi Jinping and a cameo of sorts from Te Pāti Māori: https://t.co/PjQypWhF94

At least one of Australia’s @GroupOfEight university chancellors, Peter Varghese (former head of DFAT, ONA), has long argued 🇦🇺 should “quietly abandon” its “comprehensive strategic partnership” with China. Seems the uni lobby’s CEO disagrees https://t.co/uz8ZAtGSTP https://t.co/GPhyzZ57c3

Often, when sensitive stories like this unfold in China, local Communist Party officials organise groups of cadres to target foreign reporters, writes @StephenMcDonell “Invariably it doesn’t stop the stories, it just makes China look bad.” https://t.co/dw717GcMf8
