Chinas President Xi Jinping and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron attend the official welcoming ceremony in Beijing on April 6, 2023.China's President Xi Jinping heads to Paris on Sunday for a rare visit, with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron set to press him to reduce trade imbalances and try to convince him to use his influence on Russia over the war in Ukraine.
"We must continue to push Chinese authorities to give us more guarantees on trade issues," an Elysee advisor said ahead of Xi's visit, his first trip to Europe in five years. "Leverage flies out the window if European leaders are sending different messages to Xi," said Noah Barkin, a senior adviser at the Rhodium Group and close follower of EU-China relations.
A French diplomatic source said: "If the Chinese seek to deepen the relationship with European partners, it is really important that they hear our point of view and start taking it seriously."
