习近平与马克龙在北京会晤，寻求进一步深化关系
2025-12-05
| Chinese President Xi Jinping told visiting French President that both countries, in face of a rapidly changing world environment, should "demonstrate their responsibility, uphold multilateralism and stand on the right side of history." Macron urged Beijing to exert pressure on Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, and Xi told Macron that China has always supported constructive efforts to end the war. Their talks in the Chinese capital centered on trade and commercial ties.
Bilateral trade between China and France rose 4.1 percent in the first 10 months of the year to US$69 billion, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. Xi told Macron that their two countries should consolidate cooperation in traditional fields such as aviation, aerospace and nuclear energy, and tap into the potential of new fields such as the green technologies, biopharmaceuticals and artificial intelligence. Macron said the two countries have identified "a path to convergence" on certain issues, while admitting there may be disagreements to overcome. Areas of tension include China's duties on imports of EU brandy, which mostly affect France, and still pending approval of a Chinese order for 500 Airbus jetliners. In turn, Beijing is unhappy about EU tariffs on Chinese-made electric cars as domestic automakers seek to penetrate the European market. |

莫斯科和平谈判无突破进展
2025-12-03
| US negotiators met with Russian President Vladmir Putin in Moscow for nearly five hours on Tuesday, trying to sell a revised peace plan less onerous to Ukraine. A Putin aide said no compromise on the plan was reached and territorial issues remain at the heart of any solution. Russia has consistently demanded that Ukraine cede the 19 percent of its territory now occupied by Russian forces. Zelensky has said surrendering territory would reward Russian aggression, but he is under pressure to make concessions. Putin earlier rejected a peace plan offered by Ukraine's European allies, saying Moscow is not looking for war with Europe but is ready to fight one. The European plan stresses strong security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent Russian attacks in the future. Meanwhile, Russia claimed it has captured the strategic frontline city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukrainian, a claim Kiev denied. | |
