Flying beyond the median line does nothing to actually meaningfully defeat Taiwan independence, or promote reunification. Its still international waters according to global norms. If they were really dominant, they will be flying over Taiwan just like Israel flies and Bombs whatever country they want in the middle-east.

Even India had the guts to fire missiles into Pakistan saying they hit "terrorist camps". China doesn't have the guts to hit "Taiwan Independence camps" for example. And they have good reason not to. Because, again, its beneficial for them to keep the tension low and focus on increasing China's GDP and military power.
NATO should just missile strike Russia now, and make it Moscow. Cos they've got guts

Xi and Macron are in a meeting now but a joint press briefing is expected soon? The meeting seems pretty short imo.

U.S. trade chief Tai defends pursuit of non-traditional trade deals​

WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai on Wednesday defended the Biden administration's decision not to pursue traditional free trade deals and argued her approach of working to ease non-tariff barriers is better for workers, supply chains and the U.S. ability to compete with China.

In a policy speech at American University's Washington College of Law, Tai said she is starting to change minds in Washington and in other capitals that the traditional approach of cutting tariffs no longer works in the highly competitive global economy of the 21st century.
Looks like Yellen and Raimondo won't be visiting China anytime soon :p

Chinese state media didn't even include anything Macron said, not even the usual greetings in the meeting report.

Only thing I found interesting in their joint press briefing was this
四是相互支持、推动完善全球治理。中法要继续支持世界多极化和国际关系民主化,反对冷战思维和阵营对抗,携手应对各类全球性挑战。中方支持法方办好2025年联合国海洋大会,欢迎法方出席第三届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛
Basically confirmed France will join the BRI later this year.

Xi is expected to meet with Ursula von der Leyen soon, Macron's meeting was so short, didn't seem like China changed its position at all. Looks like Macron will go to Guangzhou alone tomorrow.

The bad cop got a chair even after attacking China on twitter right before her meeting.
