Macron's China Visit Amidst Paris Turmoil

French President Emmanuel Macron will visit China next week amid ongoing pension protests in France. Macron hopes to play a leadership role in Europe and send a warning to China not to provide arms to Russia, which is currently at war with Ukraine. However, Chinese observers warn that the protests in France could weaken Macron's credibility abroad. Meanwhile, Europe is trying to carve its own path amid worsening relations between the US and China.
