Macron and von der Leyen's China visit focuses on Ukraine and trade.

French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are visiting China for a three-day trip to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine, trade relations, and climate-related issues. Macron is expected to warn China against sending arms to Russia and to ask that the country use its influence to help peace efforts. Trade will also be a focus, as Macron has asked von der Leyen to accompany him to a meeting with Xi aimed at demonstrating European unity, particularly on economic issues.
