What on earth is Albo, the AusPM, doing in China for *6 DAYS*??!

6 Days in a single country... no Australian PM has done that in the last 50 years. Why? Just to kowtow to China?? And thumb the nose at Trump?

At least Albanese should have stopped in on Japan, Vietnam and South Korea. Singapore too, why not. Albo's like "yeah, but nah".

I knew Greg Sheridan (above) from when I first met him in the 1980s, when I was in China and he accompanied some delegation or other. I was impressed with him then, and still am. He's a smart cookie. Peta Credlin is smart too. 

The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan slams Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for his six-day trip to China, labelling the visit as “unfathomably stupid”. 

“The more I look at this with the cold eye of national interest, I think what on earth is going through the Prime Minister’s mind to agree to a six-day trip to China?” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin

“When the Australia-US alliance is under more strain and under more neglect from both sides, Washington and Canberra, then it’s been for many, many years. “Albanese has secured nothing in China. There’s been no substance in this trip; he’s got nothing out of it.”

ADDED: My old Foreign Affairs colleague (we were 1976 DFAT trainees together), the Aussie Foreign Minister from 1996 to 2007, Alexander Downer talking about the failure of Albo to keep Australia in the Geopolitical game. The Grand Game. When we've always been a champion of liberal democracies.
