📅 On Dec 3, 2025, top diplomats from the Chinese mainland and France sat down in Beijing for a meet-up that’s got the world buzzing. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi welcomed his French counterpart, Jean-Noel Barrot, for a chat focused on ramping up that strategic China-France bond. 🤝
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted President Emmanuel Macron’s upcoming fourth state visit to the Chinese mainland later this month. He noted that every tête-à-tête between the two leaders is a key moment for deepening trust and tackling global puzzles together.
In today’s tricky world of shifting alliances and complex crises, both sides agree it’s time to level up communication and shoulder their responsibilities as major players and permanent members of the UN Security Council. They’re banking on this power move to:
- ✨ Boost strategic mutual trust
- ⚙️ Deepen cooperation on trade & tech
- 🌏 Inject fresh energy into global challenges
On the Taiwan region front, Wang addressed some off-base remarks made by Japan’s current leader. He stressed the need to uphold the hard-won outcomes of World War II and keep history’s lessons alive—no reruns of past mistakes!
All in all, China is counting on France to stand by its side and support its legitimate positions. With this meeting fresh off the press, we can expect some exciting moves in global diplomacy—stay tuned! 🚀
