Xi Jinping and Anthony Albanese meet at G20, ending six-year diplomatic freeze

It's been six years since an Australian leader has met with China's President. That all changed when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali. The meeting is being described by some as a landmark event, with hopes it could signal the beginning of a thawing of relations between China and Australia.
