China is the undisputed king of Asia. No competition. Putin finished Russia by his own hands. Japan is dying of old age. Vietnam will pay tribute to Chinese as the case for 2,000 years. So the Europeans they seek business opportunities as always the case. Will be interesting what the US will do.

Macron and von der Leyen went to China publicly chiding Beijing for backing Russia on Ukraine and hoping to persuade it to desist. Western MSM were loud cheerleaders.
Their trip now over, the "ambience" seems very different. The cheerleading is largely silent. Many Western commentators pronounced the foray a failure.
What really happened in China? The Chinese account below is revealing － and far more credible than the cheerleaders.
Excerpt:
"Macron and von der Leyen expressed in their talks with President Xi that China is not the party that created the crisis, appreciated China's efforts to promote a political settlement, and looked forward to China playing a more important role. They are prepared to work with China to find a way to facilitate talks for peace. The EU hoped that China would play a more important role and said it was willing to work with China to find ways to bring about peace talks...
"President Macron talked about the power of 'respect.' When dealing with non-Western countries, Western countries need to pay special attention to this, which to some extent is an issue left over from history. For many years, Western elites have consciously or unconsciously lectured others, and non-Western countries have become tired of it. In the Ukraine crisis, they made the same mistake again, as if following their opinions was the only correct and just thing to do. These people urgently need to learn 'mutual respect' and respect others' differences and that they have the same natural rights, as well as China's independent judgment...
"We can sense a change in Europe's attitude toward China on the Ukraine issue, as well as its differences with Washington. As the conflict continues, Europe's losses and pain are increasing day by day, and its desire for peace talks and a political solution is becoming stronger, showing a 'certain degree of convergence' with China's views. After the release of China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis, Europe's response was much more positive than that of the US, although there were still concerns and misunderstandings, and this has provided a foundation for China and Europe to move toward each other on the Ukraine issue."
