  5. China's President Xi Jinping Arrives in France for State Visit

China's President Xi Jinping Arrives in France for State Visit

ai generated text

Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in Paris for his first trip to Europe in five years, marking the start of a three-country tour that includes visits to Hungary and Serbia. The trip comes at a time when tensions between Europe and China are mounting over trade disputes and concerns about Beijing's influence on Russia's actions in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to urge Xi to reduce trade imbalances and use his influence with Russia to end the conflict in Ukraine. However, it is unlikely that Macron's hopes will be easily fulfilled given the current state of trade tensions between Europe and China. The trip also marks a shift in Xi's diplomatic focus, as he has not visited Europe since 2019. His decision to include Russian allies Hungary and Serbia on his itinerary may be seen as a message that could divide Western allies, particularly given China's close ties with Russia.

    1. The president will raise concerns about the activities of certain Chinese companies that could be directly involved in or contribute significantly to the Russian war effort.

    1. In Europe, we are not unanimous on the subject because certain players still see China as essentially a market of opportunities.
    2. The worst thing would be to think that we Europeans must be followers and adapt ourselves to the American rhythm and a Chinese overreaction.
    3. It's not in China's interest today to have a Russia that destabilizes the international order (...) So we have to work with [it] to build peace.
    4. We want to obtain reciprocity of exchanges and have the elements of our economic security taken into account.

    1. France's silence and inaction on human rights would only embolden the Chinese government's sense of impunity for its abuses, further fueling repression at home and abroad.
    2. President Macron should make it clear to Xi Jinping that Beijing's crimes against humanity come with consequences for China's relations with France.
