Macron Calls on Europe to Increase Attraction of China's Direct Investment in Key Areas

French President Macron: Europe Needs to Attract More Direct Chinese Investment in Key Economic Sectors

French President Emmanuel Macron said that Europe needs to attract more direct investment from China in some key economic sectors.

When speaking at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, Macron said, "We need more direct investment from China in some key economic sectors in Europe to promote our growth and technology transfer."

Macron pointed out, "This is not protectionism, but simply restoring competitive conditions," and it is about protecting European industries.

Macron made a state visit to China from December 3 to 5, 2025, during which he had friendly talks with Chinese leaders and signed multiple cooperation documents. However, on December 7, after returning home, Macron told French media, "If China does not resolve the trade deficit between Brussels and Beijing, the EU will impose tariffs on China." But he also believes that it is possible to peacefully resolve trade disputes with China.
