Macron and Xi discussed trade disputes between China and Europe, and Xi's support to Putin's war in Ukraine. France and Europe have complained about cheap Chinese Electric Vehicles flooding the European market. In response, China is investigating French cognac over anti-dumping charges. What are Macron and Xi hoping to achieve with this visit? Palki Sharma tells you.
