What Impact Will Macron's Election as French President Have on China?

   Macron, who is only 39 years old this year, has succeeded in winning the French election, relying on more than just his appearance and the tidbits of his "old wife and young husband".

   People who eat melons should not only read other people's gossip, but also follow us to pay attention to what impact he will have on China when he becomes president? You know, Macron has always been interested in China's road.

   After Macron announced his candidacy, he repeatedly quoted the famous words of Chinese politicians in interviews with the media. According to the French newspaper Le Parisien, he also quoted Deng Xiaoping's famous saying in an interview with the French RTL television station: "No matter black cat or white cat, those who can catch mice are good cats.".

   In Macron's short political experience, or after he really entered the world's vision, he also did something related to China, which is very noteworthy.

   In March this year, after Liu Shaoyao, a Chinese living in France, was shot by the police at his home in Paris, Macron was the only influential French politician who met with representatives of the Chinese community in Paris.

   In an interview with Xinhua News Agency at that time, Marklong said that he attached great importance to cooperation with China during his tenure as Minister of Economy, and that if he was elected President of France, he would continue to deepen cooperation between France and China in nuclear energy and other industrial fields.

   He also stressed that he hoped to promote exchanges between French and Chinese universities in the field of education and strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the field of climate change.

   Of course, this can also be understood as a "move" by Macron to attract Chinese votes.

   What will he do next if he is really elected president?

& emsp; & emsp; Aurelian, one of Macron's confidants and his diplomatic adviser? In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency recently, Le Cheverre also highlighted Marklong's attitude towards China, which may have some vane significance.

   Le Cheverre said that Marklong has realized that building a sustainable relationship with China has become a broad consensus among French political and business circles.

   If elected president, Macron will push the EU and China to reach a cooperation agreement covering security, economy, trade and environmental protection.

   Le Cheverre stressed that if there is an imbalance in the economic and trade relations between the two countries, Marklong will focus on solving the problem through "dialogue" with China within the framework of the European Union, and will not easily choose to raise tariffs or even fight a trade war.

   In dealing with climate change, as China has played an important role in reaching the "Paris Agreement on Climate Change" and US President Trump has publicly questioned the "Paris Agreement on Climate Change", Marklong hopes that France, the European Union and China will strengthen cooperation to promote the implementation of the agreement.

   However, it is worth noting that while Marklong attaches importance to cooperation with China, he has also made many public statements with obvious protective tendencies. For example, it supports the "Buy European Act", advocates the strengthening of EU anti-dumping instruments, proposes the establishment of an "EU Trade Prosecutor" to examine whether countries outside the EU comply with their economic and trade cooperation commitments, and advocates the establishment of a foreign investment regulatory body within the EU.

   Moreover, Macron clearly pointed out in his campaign platform that one of the main targets of these proposals is China, such as strengthening the EU's anti-dumping tools, which are aimed at China, India and other countries, and setting up a foreign investment regulatory agency, which is aimed at the United States, China and other countries.

   In addition, according to a report released by the French Institute of International Relations recently, Marklong advocates that policies on the South China Sea issue should be introduced at the EU level to ensure the presence of France and the EU in the relevant regions.

   In recent years, Western politicians running for president have always made a big fuss about China in exchange for votes. Campaigning rhetoric is often aimed at the mood of voters, but when they are elected, they need to think more about the overall situation and the long term.
