spoke to Co Eugene a taiwan-based professor at The Institute of China and asia-pacific studies here’s what he had to say I do not believe uh Shin’s visit to to Europe this time uh could uh receive any kind of influence uh from France especially on uh China’s relation with Putin as we all know uh Putin is planning to visit to pay a state visit to Beijing on 15 and 16 of these ones and uh I personally believe based on my observation uh China Russia relation will upgrade uh since this uh State visit of Putin uh to Beijing as we all know uh the entire Europe is uh kind of divided especially uh on attitude toward uh Ukrainian war and also to Russia and I believe president’s uh choices to visit Hungary and Serbia uh sounds like uh this uh try to enlarge this uh division within Europe especially on Europeans attitude to Ukrainian war and Russia

French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to urge China’s President Xi Jinping, who arrives in Paris on Sunday for a rare visit, to use his influence with Russia over the war in Ukraine. Some experts, however, said the meeting is unlikely to yield results. “I do not believe Xi Jinping’s visit to Europe this time could receive any kind of influence from France,” said Kuo Yujen, professor at the Institute of China and Asia-Pacific Studies in Taiwan. Citing President Vladimir Putin’s upcoming visit to China this month, Kuo said the two countries’ relationship will continue to improve despite disapproval from the West.

  5. He's not there to talk with Macron thats all smoke and mirrors Xi is there to talk with Russian allies inside Europe with promises of the return of what especially Hungary see as their territorial lands back.
    They both need to be put on notice.
    Either Europe or Russia no in-between. Traitors.

  6. Xi wants all the cheap Russian energy Europe has so foolishly rejected. The BRICS have already grown their own economies so fast that their GDP is 20% larger that that of the G7. When the Power of Siberia-2 arrives in 2030, it will be Chinese manufacturing driven by cheap abundant NG vs European manufacturing driven by unreliable windmills and ironically dirty coal. Macron is not going to be able to turn Xi against the BRICS to back the G7. Not when the plan is for BRICS to continue to win the economic war against the G7.

  9. China has been advocating negotiations while NATO wants a forever war. What is there to influence when China doesn't share NATO's sentiments?

  14. Xi will do whatever is best for his vision of China and how it sits tight waiting for the Post-Covid chaos. He won't invade Taiwan, he just want some of the aid to go someplace else than Ukraine

  16. 😆Is the same question , western midia always use to downplay China achievements :
    "At what price ?"

    At what price Macron able to pay for it ?
