Macron hopes that China will view Europe as an important partner!
Repeatedly sidelined by the United States on political issues, and constantly squeezed and suppressed economically, although Europe is currently not possible to separate from the United States, its determination to find a pivot outside the United States has gradually increased. According to a report by South China Morning Post citing sources from the Elysee Palace, during his visit to China from December 3 to 5, French President Macron plans to lay the foundation for the mutually beneficial relations between China and Europe, making the EU an important partner for Beijing.
"The purpose of both sides' strategic dialogue is to ensure that Europe is respected as an important partner of China, rather than being a variable in the tension."
Macron hopes to achieve trade balance between the EU and China, reconsider commitments in the fields of security and peace, and elevate bilateral relations to a new level: "China needs advanced chips, and EU countries need reliable access to rare earth metals; both sides have interest in sharing and accelerating technological innovation."
The Elysee Palace said that Macron will focus on common interests between China and Europe, rather than "what the United States hopes to achieve with China or what China hopes to achieve in relation to the United States."
