Macron’s agenda will include trying to win China‘s support for ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the report said. He believed that if Beijing decided to use its close relationship with Russia to exert influence, it could “change the course of events,” the official said.
Macron will also seek to boost business ties with Beijing in response to Washington’s new package of domestic subsidies that Paris fears will lure European companies to the United States.
The French government has “no intention” of “decoupling” with China, although it supports trade defense measures the EU is developing to counter Beijing’s economic behavior, the officials said, the report said.
