French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming state visit to China, scheduled for December 3-5, 2025, is drawing international attention as a potential turning point for multilateral cooperation. The trip—which includes stops in Beijing and Chengdu—comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and economic realignments across Asia and Europe.
Analysts suggest the visit could strengthen China-France collaboration on climate initiatives, trade stability, and conflict mediation. A CGTN public opinion poll, launched ahead of the visit, invites readers worldwide to share perspectives on cross-continental relations. Key discussion topics include:
Post-pandemic economic recovery strategies
Technology and green energy partnerships
Cultural exchanges boosting tourism revival
This marks Macron's first visit to China since 2023, with observers noting Chengdu's inclusion signals interest in connecting with China's southwestern innovation hubs. The outcomes may influence broader Asia-Europe policy frameworks in 2026.
