French President Emmanuel Macron is traveling to China because Paris believes that only Beijing can “change the rules of the game” in Ukraine. CNN informs about this with reference to a source from the office of the French president.
“China is clearly one of the few countries on Earth – perhaps the only country in the world – that has a “thunder-changing” influence on the conflict for both party,” the source said.
Macron will fly to China on Wednesday, his first meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in three years after Chinese authorities went into lockdown due to strict COVID measures.< /p>
The French leader will meet Xi as well as Chinese Premier Li Qiang. According to the source, Macron wants to find space for initiatives useful to Kiev and also a way to end the Ukrainian conflict in the medium term.
Together with Macron, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, he will go to China. It is planned that the agenda of negotiations with the Chinese authorities will also include the expansion of cooperation between China and the EU.
