China and Australia 'mend ties'

According to the article" China and Australia 'mend ties" from BBC, Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang visited Australia to fix recent tension between these countries. Because of the arrest of Australian mining executive in China and Uighur activist leader's visit in Australia, their relationship have not been well recently. Since China needs Australian resources such as coal and liquid gas to maintain their continuous economic growth, and on the other hand, Australia also needs China to import the resources to maintain their stable economy. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said that they were already on their way back to good relationship.
