Chinese Premier Li Qiang has wrapped up a three-nation tour to New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia, a visit that analysts say highlights China's efforts to further strengthen ties with countries in the Asia-Pacific region amid rising economic and security challenges. What were some of the major outcomes of the premier's visits to the three countries? What can we expect in the improvement of bilateral ties? And how does the future of prosperity and stability look in the Asia-Pacific region? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Prof. Chen Hong, director of the Australian Studies Center at East China Normal University; Prof. James Laurenceson, director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney; and Dr. Syed Mahmud Ali, distinguished fellow with the Centre for New Inclusive Asia.
