Chinese President Xi Jinping went on a European tour after five years. He visited France, Serbia and Hungary. What were the details and main agenda items of the visit? Where will they visit next? Journalist Nedret Ersanel evaluated it for GZT.
He went to France on the first leg of his European tour. Although the reception patterns remained the same as he embarked on his European tour, views of China across the continent have changed dramatically. The Chinese leader met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday, together with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Xi's upcoming visits to France, Serbia and Hungary were an opportunity to convince his critics. It also revealed that while views have hardened in some parts of Europe, others still welcome China with open arms. With these visits, Xi also wanted to ensure that Europe does not get closer to the United States, especially in an environment of uncertainty regarding the outcome of the upcoming US elections. Unless it is prepared to make surprise concessions, it will be difficult for China's harshest critics to make major advances.
It is anticipated that the European tour will serve to bridge divisions not only between Europe and China, but also within Europe, which may favor China.
Topics on the table included trade, bilateral relations and the Russia-Ukraine war.
A busy schedule welcomed Xi, who made his first European state visit since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Chinese leader's European tour brought with it economic and strategic risks.
