Macron addressed Xi Jinping explicitly asking him to carry out valuable mediation work against Kremlin Tsar Vladimir Putin. During his state visit to Beijing, the French president told his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, that he was counting on him to “bring Russia back to sanity”. “I know I can count on you to bring Russia back to sanity and everyone back to the negotiating table,” Macron said during an official bilateral meeting.
China and the European Union maintain “intense exchanges” and, despite the differences, there is a “strong desire for communication”. This statement was made by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Mao Ning, when commenting on relations between Beijing and Brussels, on the day of talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping, French President Emmanuel Macron, and the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. “Exchanges between China and the EU in various fields were quickly restarted and are being implemented in the round,” the spokeswoman said. “The recent intensive exchanges between China and the EU fully demonstrate that although there are some differences between the two sides, there is a strong desire for communication and broad and deep exchanges and common interests.”
