Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong has indicated Prime Minister Anthony Albanese won't travel to China unless "continued progress" is made to resolve trade and consular disputes.

The invite from Chinese officials was made earlier this year and follows clashes between the two countries, which have in particular severely hindered Australian exporters.
