China and France getting cosy

China strengthening European ties

China strengthening European ties
  • China and France reaffirm their firm support for the Paris Climate Change agreement and consider it an irreversible process
  • Sign protocol to finalise agreement by end Jan 2020 on building of nuclear waste treatment facility in China
Adam pointed out earlier that if there is a worsening of US China trade relations there will be a push and pull between US and China over Europe. With the UK out of the EU then the US’s special ally is now out of the European big boys club. Potential for severe political splits across the globe ahead if relations don’t quickly improve.
