Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen in China to ‘reset’ relations – BBC News

French President Emmanuel Macron and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are in China for a three-day visit where they'll meet with President Xi Jinping and other top Chinese officials.

Their joint trip is the latest in a noticeable push from European leaders to engage with China, which has seen German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez paying visits in recent months.

Mr Macron and Ms von der Leyenwill be pressing Mr Xi on taking further steps to halt the Ukraine war, while also finessing the increasingly fraught trade relationship between the European Union and China, its biggest trading partner.
