The high levels of government and enterprises have recently set off a tide of visiting China. Beijing will receive French President Macron this week. With the also visiting China, the chairman of the European Commission Feng Delin.One is the head of the European country, and the other is the EU's head. The two have started visiting China at the same time, full of highlights.
According to the news released by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday (April 3), Macron was invited by Chinese officials to visit China on Wednesday to Friday.During his visit to China, he will meet with Chinese officials, "joint planning and leading the future development of Sino -French relations, deepen cooperation in various fields in China and France, and in -depth opinions on major international and regional hot issues."
Macron will also meet with the new Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Zhao Leji in Beijing.He will also go south to visit Guangdong in Guangdong Province, which shows that France will be willing to cooperate with various levels of China.
This is the third time Macron visited China, and he also visited China after his second term and epidemic. Like the previous visit to China, this time he went to China with the task of "grab orders".
It is reported that Macron will visit the luxury business group to visit China, including Alstom, Veolia, and enterprise executives such as aircraft manufacturers.Before Macron set off, there were media disclosure that Airbus was negotiating with China on a new round of aircraft orders.
When leaders of European and American powers visit China, airplane orders are often regarded as "barometers" that evaluate bilateral relations.Due to the deterioration of Sino -US relations, Beijing has more inclined to order aircraft orders to Airbus in recent years.In July last year, the three major airlines in China ordered 292 passenger planes from Airbus.
Officials in Macron's office said that the agreement that Airbus will reach this time will not be just "re -packaged" to the news that has been announced before.If this new order is promoted, it will undoubtedly further consolidate the status of Airbus in the Chinese market and also have a impact on Boeing. This is a gift from Beijing to Macron.No, the order has not been nailed on the board, and the capital market has heard the wind, and the stock price of Airbus has risen by 2 % after the news came out.
Macron's last visit to China was November 2019. In the past three years, the international geopolis environment has changed dramatically. The world has experienced a long epidemic situation.Another task of Macron's visit to China is to seek communication with Beijing on the Russian and Ukraine issue. This is also his biggest highlight.
Agence France -Presse quoted French officials that Macron will show a firm position on Chinese leaders on the Russian and Ukraine issue, and at the same time, it will also have to go out of the "another road", unlike Washington's confrontation attitude.French officials also described China as the "GAME-Changer", saying that China is the only country in the world to have a direct and fundamental impact on Russia and Ukraine.
Macron is reported to spend six or seven hours in China and Chinese leaders.A consultant of the Elysee Palace told the media, "You can use one hand to count how many world leaders can discuss in -depth with Chinese officials." It can be seen that the French side hopes that leaders can co -operate for a long time and can produce positive results;Especially in Russia and Ukraine's conflict, Beijing can persuade Beijing to play a greater role and remind Beijing to provide the catastrophic consequences of providing weapons to Moscow.
After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, China has never condemned Russia to invade Ukraine, and China and Russia have continued to maintain a close relationship. This has caused the outside world to question China's position and European countries are particularly disappointed.As a result, Beijing has the willingness to seek French support, and the support from the Elysee Palace will help Beijing to create a moral image of peacetime in Europe, and it is also an important breakthrough in Beijing to crack the United States.
But there were pessimists that on the eve of the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, Macron also came to Moscow to mediate, and finally returned without merit. This time, the environment was not optimistic.The Politico News website wrote slightly in a report that Macron is conducting an ambitious diplomatic task to attract Beijing to stay away from Moscow, "Washington officials wish him good luck."
Analysis also pointed out that Feng Delin, the peer, may also make Macron's China trip more complicated.Feng Delin is a hardcore to China, and people have not arrived in Beijing.
Last Thursday, she made a tough conversation on China -Europe relations at a forum, emphasizing that Europe must reduce the risk of excessive dependence on China, and suggest that she has to re -review the frozen China -Europe full investment agreement.Feng Delin also criticized China's human rights records and warned that the prospects of China -Europe relations depend on "how China continues to interact with Putin."The Chinese ambassador to the European EU, Fu Cong, then rejected, saying that her speech was distorted and misunderstood China's policies and positions.
Europe and China have differences in some issues, and they are inevitable. However, after the restarting diplomatic diplomacy, China ’s head of state and EU heads can set foot on China, which also shows that there is still a talk between China and Europe.There are still common interests, and they all want to continue to maintain a normal relationship under the cloudy clouds of China and the United States.If the number of conventions can be found on peacefully solving the Ukrainian issue, it is the result that the outside world wants to see the most. Even if there is no such consensus, German and French leaders and EU leaders have visited China in just a few months. At least China -EU relationsIt has stabilized in a short time.
