At the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos, French President Emmanuel Macron used his address before global leaders to call for more economic relations with Beijing, calling for increased Chinese foreign direct investment in France and Europe as tensions flare up with the United States and President Donald Trump.
During his speech, Macron emphasized that although Europe welcomes economic engagement from China, what is needed now is "more Chinese foreign direct investments in Europe, in some key sectors, to contribute to our growth and to transfer some technologies."
