Xi’s European trip: Why is the Western media so bitter?!

China’s President has just returned from a five day official visit to Europe, his first time on the continent in nearly five years. While there he visited France, Serbia and Hungary, in a bid to show Europe that China is open for business, and that China’s goal is mutual respect, win-win cooperation, and global peace and prosperity. But the Western media didn’t take too kindly to his visit, with the Financial Times labeling it “unproductive” and claiming China’s President was there to “sow divisions” in Europe. Are they right, or is this just a case of sour grapes? Today we’ll chat with two special guests for their takes: French national Arnaud Bertrand, and Serbian Nik Stankovic. This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting. #europe #china #xijinping
