Macron's China Visit: Balancing Politics and Economics in a Shifting Global Landscape.

As Europe winds down for the Easter break, the political news has been full steam ahead. Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen's China visit has been closely followed, with Macron receiving the red carpet treatment of a state visit, while von der Leyen got only the briefest of meetings with China's president and was then attacked by Beijing commentators as a U.S. puppet. Meanwhile, NATO's open-door policy on Ukrainian membership, Western war fatigue and China's role as peace broker in Russia's war on Ukraine, are all on the table in Suzanne's conversation with Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, during his visit to Brussels this week.
