“FLOODING EUROPEAN MARKET”
In the deals, Macron and von der Leyen both made business a top priority, underscoring that, in order to avoid a trade war, Europe must defend its” strategic passions” in its financial relations with China.
Von der Leyen cited “imbalances that remain important” as well as” a matter of great concern” for Chinese incentives for electric vehicles and material as “flooding the German business.”
Macron thanked Xi for never imposing “provisional” customs duties on French whiskey amid an continued pro- dumping investigation, and presented him with bottles of the cheap drink.
Right organizations and opposing political parties have criticized Xi’s red floor welcome.
They accuse Macron of putting too much focus on his counterpart’s promises while ignoring Beijing’s crimes, including the oppression of the Uyghur majority.
Additionally, the attend comes as a result of growing concern about alleged Chinese hackers attacks on lawmakers and officials in Western nations, including France, Germany, and the UK, which Beijing has denied.
Raphael Glucksmann, a Socialist member for the European Parliament votes in June, denounced the “friendly voice” of the visit.
He told RTL television:” The man who deports the Uyghurs ( and ) represses the people of Hong Kong and the Tibetans is not our friend”.
