Macron strengthens business and military ties with China while urging help to end Ukraine war.
TL;DR Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron ended his China trip with a pact to strengthen business and military ties between the two countries. The joint statement with Chinese leader Xi Jinping did not include a commitment from Beijing to end Russia's war on Ukraine, which was a key request from Macron. The move reflects Macron's desire to increase French firms' presence in the Chinese market, while others in the West are looking to reduce their dependence on China.
