No liaison after qui?

A quiz question has this answer:

"Qu'est-ce qui a changé entre nous ?"

Why there's no liaison after "qui", like "... qu'a changé..."?

That works only if the first vowel is "e", not "i".

Qui est là? (no liaison between qui and est, because of the "i")
Qu'est-ce que tu as fait? (liaison between que and est, because of "e").
