LIVE | Xi Jinping Visits France: Why is Macron Trying to Woo China? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China's President Xi Jinping is visiting France in his first trip to Europe in five years. This visit marks 60 years of diplomatic relations between France and China. Trade between China and France is worth $79 billion today. However, it has become a point of concern between Paris and Beijing, with both countries looking to avoid a confrontation over electric vehicles and French liquor. France is also concerned about China's position on the Ukraine war, with Macron asking President Xi to use China's influence on Russia to help Ukraine. On the other hand, President Xi Jinping is making this visit after Macron's criticism of America, and his refusal to let Europe become "Washington's vassal". So, both countries have clear agendas in mind. Will this visit result in significant announcements and bilateral policy shifts, or will it be another diplomatic stalemate? Palki Sharma tells you on Vantage.
