Albanese said he raised human rights cases in his talks, including two detained Australian journalists, Cheng Lei and Yang Hengjun, telling reporters he had said Australians "want to see Cheng Lei reunited with her children".
Cheng Lei was "elated" to be back home, the prime minister said.
He did not raise one of Australia’s key disputes – the arbitrary detention of Australians Cheng Lei or Yang Hengjun – while he was in Beijing.
Two Chinese-Australians, Cheng Lei, who formerly worked for China’s state broadcaster, and writer Yang Jun, have been held since 2020 and 2019 respectively without word on their sentencing.
Yang's case, and that of detained Australian journalist Cheng Lei, tried in secret on national security charges in March 2022, are being closely watched in Australia ahead of an anticipated visit by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to Beijing this year.
