Three of Washington’s most beloved residents are heading back home, ending an era amid frostiness in U.S.-China relations.

Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne’s crucial visit to Beijing this week shows the Chinese government is eager to get its relationship with Australia back on a friendly footing after a year of diplomatic frostiness, China experts say.

This frostiness from the West didn't dent restaurant worker Victor Trakhin's enthusiasm for Putin, however.
