The recent visit of China's foreign minister to Australia has shown a stabilization of the bilateral relationship, but also a misalignment in long-term goals. China aims to move beyond stabilization and expects a less hostile approach from Australia, while the Australian government sees stabilization as an end point. The visit was seen as a positive step in dialogue and cooperation, but there are concerns about the longevity of the stabilization policy. The Australian government is also taking steps to address non-kinetic threats from China, such as cyber activity and foreign interference. The economic relationship between the two countries remains strong, but there are calls for trade diversification and supply chain resilience. The future of Australia-China relations is uncertain, with domestic and external pressures complicating the situation. [Extracted from the article]
