Red carpet diplomacy: What's Macron message for China's Xi? • FRANCE 24 English

Can you still send strong messages when you've rolled out the red carpet and chilled the champagne for a state dinner? China's Xi Jinping is being feted in the French capital for his first visit to Europe since 2019, despite trade tensions, spy scandals and insistence that he isolate Vladimir Putin over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. How much has changed since one year ago, when Emmanuel Macron was accused of lax messaging on human rights and Taiwan when he travelled to Beijing?

If I over manufacture it means I am stupid because there are not enough buyers. I lose. But if there are enough buyers, I will keep on manufacturing. It is called the law of supply and demand. Econ 101. When people say "overcapacity" they are really saying, please produce at a much higher price so I can compete. As to the trade deficit, stop importing then. But wait, guess what is going to happen to your standard of living. They know, so all they can do is cry foul and point the finger at someone else. Remember, each country controls its own destiny.

哎, 王冠啊王冠, Taiwan is not a legacy of cold war, but a legacy of Chinese civil war, an unfinished civil war. Keep that in mind when you discuss this with foreigners next time. The sovereignty of Taiwan belongs to all Chinese in 1946 before the civil starts, so no matter what the result of civil war is, the sovereignty still belongs to all Chinese people. Civil war doesn't change the ownership of territory.
