YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Xi Jinping has arrived in France to begin talks aimed at stabilizing China’s relationship with Europe, as he tries to perform damage limitation on trade ties with the key bloc.
The Chinese leader shook hands with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal after landing in Paris on Sunday, in his first visit to the European Union in five years. He’ll also visit Serbia — which isn’t a member state of the bloc — and Hungary.
Xi’s tour comes as the EU forges a more unified voice with Washington in opposing China’s capacity for cheap exports and perceived national security risks. Distrust toward Beijing in Brussels is growing, exemplified by a recent flurry of arrests of alleged Chinese spies and a salvo of trade actions.
In an article published by French outlet Le Figaro on Sunday, Xi pledged to deepen cooperation with France on innovation and green development. China welcomes “more quality French farm products and cosmetics to the Chinese market,” he added, naming two areas where Beijing has some leverage to respond to tariffs.
