Dumping products? have we ever heard Chinese people complain that the West is dumping luxury and agricultural product to China where locals producers would face competition, just because the West can't compete doesn't give them the right to complain, this is capitalism 101.

Nordstream perfectly exemplifies this point.

No need to put a slant on it. Nothing wrong with Chinese trying to find a living to support the 1.42 billions of people ..

Countries don't have friends, they have interests.

'Flooding Europe with cheap electric cars'. You gotta be kidding right? Recent sales reports from BYD, largest EV maker, sell less than 3% into Europe. They're just sitting at the dock.

U guys should revamp your choice of words or go vack to school. Rather than using cheaper, it should be affordable. Its no longer the cheap product americans used to manufactured in china but of good quality 100% chinese made

The Chinese have built a huge museum in Serbia against NATO commemorating the bombing ( despite it not being about China) and with Chinese architecture.

@mrm7058. countries have permanent interest but not friends except for the Chinese who have long memories. The PRC ( People's Republic of China) whatever it may call itself is more Confucianist than Communist and Confucianism values loyalty above everything else .Examples of its behavior can be seem in its relationship with Serbia,Pakistan,Cambodia and Tanzania.All these countries were the earliest to recognise The PRC when nobody would do so and in return China has always stood by them come rain or shine

I don't know what Xi wanted or talked about in France but in Serbia and Hungary he went to visit friends at their invitation...

It is time for Europe to be independent and not a vassal state of the US

It’s a big honour indeed for a Chinese emperor to visit you especially for small and poor countries. The gifts they bestow are of such magnitude as to be of a miraculous nature.
