Albanese-Xi meeting, G20 and IP theft

This week, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Chinese President Xi Xinping on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Indonesia. This was the first time an Australian Prime Minister met with President Xi since Malcolm Turnbull in 2016. David Wroe speaks to Dr Alex Bristow about the significance of the meeting and what this means for the bilateral relationship, as well as other developments from Summit Season so far. At the 2015 G20 Summit, world leaders recognised the risks that state-sponsored cyberespionage posed to the long-term economic growth of nations and their prosperity. Following on from their briefing note to this year’s G20 Leaders’ Summit, Dr Ben Stevens speaks to Dr Gatra Priyandita and Bart Hogeveen about why ICT-enabled IP theft still remains an important issue that affects developed and developing nations alike.
