Macron looks to Xi for help in dealing with Russia.
TL;DR Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed confidence in Chinese leader Xi Jinping's ability to "bring Russia to reason" over Ukraine, in a move that contrasts with US rhetoric. Macron's comments came during a visit to Beijing, where he was welcomed with a 21-gun salute and treated to a state dinner. Xi has tried to present himself as a neutral party in the Ukraine conflict, despite a burgeoning partnership with Russia. Macron's visit is seen as an attempt to curry favour with China, and he is travelling with a delegation of major French businesses.
