Zhao Lequilian 的访问

really makes me nostalgic for the good old days of Sino-Australian and Sino-New Zealand relations

. I remember when China was still a relatively new country, and our leaders were all about building bridges with other nations

.
But at the same time, I'm also reminded of how much has changed since then

. The Chinese Communist Party has come a long way since Mao's time, and we've made huge strides in terms of economic development and global influence

.
Still, it's hard not to feel a little uneasy about the current state of affairs between China and its neighbors

. I mean, with all the trade tensions and whatnot, it feels like we're walking on eggshells around each other

.
I guess only time will tell how this visit turns out

. Will Zhao Lequilian be able to smooth things over between us? Only the future knows
