Extrenely spicy. Unfortunately, can't trust the le French.

French officials close to Macron have indicated in recent weeks that he is considering offering Xi a deal along the lines of this: France will resist US pressure to decouple from China if Beijing invests diplomatic capital in bringing about peace in Ukraine. To drive home the point, I was told that a large Airbus investment in China could be announced during Macron’s visit. This looks a lot like re-risking à la française. “Don’t mistake this for a good cop, bad cop act,” one German observer said of Macron and von der Leyen. “That would presume coordination on the messaging.”

LOL rich coming from a perpetual racist c..t spewing your anti-China spiel on various forums. Settle down with your moral indignation man, and now that your country is a part of NATO there's no need to worry about those hapless Russians that as you said could not even beat a country with one of the largest military in Europe not to mention well prepared and armed by the champions of human rights (if you're white) freedom (fake freedom) and democracy (oligarchic rule and false choice) U.S. led imperialist pseudo-defensive alliance called NATO.

It is going to be fun watching them mald when they realize that Russia isn’t losing and they didn’t lose 50 trillion soldiers in Ukraine.

"France will resist US pressure to decouple"
What would that translate to though? Renegotiate the CAI?

Still regardless of the details such moves by EU key members to look out for themselves instead of bet on US will make Japan and South Korea nervous. I'm still betting if there's a country first jump out and stab US in the back it will be Japan.

He thinks NATO should expand into the Pacific as well. Got slightly less trashed by the Soviets than Nazi Germany and already wants to go conquering the Pacific with its mighty fleet of corvettes and speed boats.

It would be time for Japan to give the US a middle finger. US bases are such a nuisance with continuous problems of bad bahaviours, pollution and also making Japan a prime target.

Having to deal with the US pulling strings from the other side of the globe after they nuked you, while your two biggest neighbours are branded has pure ennemies it's clearly not good for Japan. They look like a predetermined punching bag.

For France, they clearly need to divert attention of their internal problems, maybe creating new ones could deter the guillotine for Macron. Making a bravado to the US could help gaining back some citizens, getting out of NATO would probably be an interesting move.

Tech sanctions I assume. Could mean that France would push for EU to stay out of the tech war that the US of waging against China.

In any case, I wouldn't trust him at all. No Western country can be trusted. Whatever Russia is doing right now, should keep doing it.

You just know that the moment the Russian "problem" is solved, Europeans will turn against China again. Don't forget the GFC 2008 mistake

It depends on what kind of investment it is going to be. If its just another assembly plant, Macaroon and Airbus can go for a hike..

Now if its a huge R&D facility and/or actual component production factories and all that stuff, that would be very valuable
They have some facilities opening this year, maybe they will promote it and upgrade the deal ?

With Boeing vaccum in China, Airbus will certainly try to take most of the spoils until China is able to ramp up production of their own aircrafts. Macron is just getting some pressure off his back going there. He will need way more to get his head out of turmoils.

Japan and S Korea have economic dependencies to the US via exports or in-state factories. My speculation is that all of these states are privately warn to toll the line or get some of their companies "huawei" or plaza accord again.
