YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Macron’s visit to China comes as Xi Jinping seeks France’s backing in a growing dispute with Japan over Taiwan and looks to strengthen economic ties.

French President Emmanuel Macron pushed for more Chinese investment during a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, as Paris looks to rebalance its economic ties with Beijing and narrow a persistent trade gap.

Macron said Europe, including France, needs a clearer framework to attract more Chinese direct investment. He warned that China’s growing trade surplus with the rest of the world is becoming unsustainable, while investment flowing into Europe remains too low.

He added that Europe must work to become more competitive, and that China should accelerate efforts to strengthen domestic consumption. “The worst way to manage these imbalances is through a trade war,” he said.
