The federal government has confirmed the itinerary for the official visit of Chinese Premier Li Qiang. He will arrive in Adelaide on Sunday, where he will attend a state lunch and visit Adelaide Zoo; Li is expected to announce that China will extend its loan of two pandas to the zoo, which is part of the nation’s policy of "panda diplomacy". Li will travel to Canberra on Monday for talks with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, while they will both go to Perth on Tuesday to visit Fortescue’s hydrogen plant and a Chinese-backed lithium processing plant. There are concerns that Li’s official visit to Australia will be marred by disruptions caused by pro-China activists and human rights protestors.
