Chinese Premier Li Qiang, left, and Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese shake hands during a signing ceremony at Parliament House in Canberra, Monday, June 17, 2024. Li and Albanese and senior ministers of both administrations met at Parliament House on Monday to discuss thorny issues, including lingering trade barriers, conflict between their militaries in international waters and China's desire to invest in critical minerals.
“I think China chose us because it’s not just the best technology to go green in Australia, it’s the best technology to go green in the world and we’ve got real examples of it in trains, ship engines, trucks,” Forrest told The Associated Press. Citing Australia’s national interests, Treasurer Jim Chalmers recently ordered five Chinese-linked companies to divest their shares in the rare earth mining company Northern Minerals.
Forrest said the national risk from Chinese investment in the critical minerals sector was overstated. Albanese revealed that his office had complained to the Chinese Embassy about the behavior of two officials during a media event with the two leaders after the meeting.
