法国总统埃马纽埃尔-马克龙正在中国与中国领导人习近平会面，试图限制中国对俄罗斯对乌克兰战争的支持。马克龙和其他欧洲领导人希望防止中国越过西方的红线，即北京开始向莫斯科大规模提供武器。马克龙和拜登总统周二通了电话，表示共同愿意与中国接触，以加速结束乌克兰的战争。

中国是俄罗斯最重要的合作伙伴，也是俄罗斯面临西方制裁时越来越重要的经济生命线。马克龙在说服习近平方面面临着一场艰难的战斗，因为他最近访问了莫斯科，展示了他们的团结。中国没有谴责克里姆林宫对其邻国的入侵，并采取了俄罗斯的政策，不称其为战争。

马克龙与欧盟委员会主席乌苏拉-冯德莱恩同行，表明欧盟与中国的贸易关系可能会受到中国行动的影响。欧洲是中国最大的贸易伙伴之一，因此，如果北京希望欧盟不要跟随华盛顿的路线对抗中国并减少经济联系，它就有动力在乌克兰问题上提供更多帮助。中国在支持俄罗斯方面的任何升级都可能考验欧洲的团结，因为一些欧洲国家的首都可能不愿意采取可能危及其与中国经济关系的措施。

欧盟委员会主席乌苏拉-冯德莱恩最近警告说，中国正在寻求建立一个以北京为主导的国际新秩序，并表示欧洲必须开始 "解除 "与北京的经济和外交关系。她拒绝任何由中国主导的接受俄罗斯吞并领土的和平计划，并建议欧盟-中国的投资条约不再适用。

中国已经向俄罗斯出售了可用于军事目的的微芯片和其他技术，但尚未提供致命武器。自战争开始以来，中国领导人习近平没有与乌克兰总统沃洛季米尔-泽伦斯基交谈过，波兰总理马特乌斯-莫拉维茨基警告说，中国对俄罗斯的支持将对欧洲产生严重后果。

法国总统埃马纽埃尔-马克龙在北京会晤后，将在中国南方的广州与习近平进行私人晚宴。马克龙希望利用这个机会鼓励中国的和平解决方案，而不是支持俄罗斯的侵略。

French President Emmanuel Macron is in China to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in an attempt to limit Chinese support for Russia in its war against Ukraine. Macron and other European leaders want to prevent China from crossing the West’s redline—that Beijing starts providing weapons on a large scale to Moscow. Macron and President Biden spoke in a telephone call on Tuesday, expressing a joint willingness to engage China to accelerate the end of the war in Ukraine.

China is Russia’s most significant partner and an increasingly important economic lifeline as it faces Western sanctions. Macron faces an uphill battle in persuading Xi Jinping, as he recently visited Moscow to showcase their solidarity. China hasn’t condemned the Kremlin’s invasion of its neighbor, and has adopted Russia’s policy of not calling it a war.
-
Macron is traveling with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, signaling that the European Union’s trade ties with China could be affected by its actions. Europe is one of China’s largest trading partners, so if Beijing is hoping the EU doesn’t follow Washington’s line on confronting China and reducing economic ties, it has an incentive to be more helpful on Ukraine. Any escalation by China in its support for Russia is likely to test European unity, as some European capitals may be reluctant to take steps that could endanger their economic relationships with China.
-
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently warned that China was seeking to build a new international order with Beijing as a dominant power and said Europe must start “de-risking” its economic and diplomatic relationship with Beijing. She rejected any Chinese-led peace plan that would accept Russia’s annexation of territories and suggested that the EU-China investment treaty was no longer fit for purpose.

China has sold Russia microchips and other technology that can be used for military purposes, but has not yet provided lethal weapons. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has not spoken to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky since the start of the war, and Poland Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki warned that Chinese support for Russia would have serious consequences for Europe.

French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to have a private dinner with Xi Jinping in Guangzhou, in southern China, after their meeting in Beijing. Macron is hoping to use this opportunity to encourage peaceful solutions from China rather than supporting Russian aggression.
