Description

Anthony Albanese has finally got a meeting with a president, but it's not the one some are so desperate to see.

The Prime Minister sets off on a six-day official visit to China while there is still no date set for a face-to-face with Donald Trump.

But does that actually matter, and what does President Xi want from Australia?
