China aims to prevent a closer rapprochement between Europe and the United States. The French president is, in this sense, Beijing’s most important partner, analysts say.
Chinese President Xi Jinping received French President Emmanuel Macron with extraordinary generosity during his state visit. This was reported by Reuters on April 7.
Analysts believe this could indicate that Beijing is trying to enlist the help of key allies in the European Union to counter the US.
The leaders visited the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, where they had an early dinner scheduled before meeting with Chinese investors.
“Such visits by Xi with visiting leaders are rare. Diplomats say it highlights the importance Beijing places on this relationship with a key EU member as it seeks support against what Xi calls a ‘comprehensive containment, siege and subjugation’ of the US.” , the article says.
According to Rhodium Group analyst Noah Barkin, China’s main goal is to prevent a closer rapprochement between Europe and the United States.
“In this sense, Macron is probably Beijing’s most important partner in Europe,” he said.
It can be recalled that the President of France arrived in China on April 5 for a three-day visit.
He went to Beijing with the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to improve relations with China and influence its position on the Russian war in Ukraine.
