The Chinese government and the Australia China Business Council have organised a last-minute lunch for Australian business leaders to meet with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday. Senior executives from mining companies BHP and Rio Tinto are expected to attend the lunch, while executives from Treasury Wine Estates and Graincorp have also been invited, but may not be able to attend due to the short notice. Commenting on the lunch, a source from one of the invited companies said that "everyone’s really nervous. No one wants to do anything that upsets things".
