the the, this is dw news lie from, but in china as president makes us fast trip to europe in 5 years. shooting. things arrived at his 1st estimation from trade tensions, and there was an ukraine on them, at least likely to top. the agenda also coming up a prospect for a ceasefire and guys up here, slim off to adults in cairo. and with that a deal is real and how must fail to agree on the length of intrigues and cats? are you broadcast? i'll just there is now off and israel after the cabinet of benjamin netanyahu votes to shelter it's and use operations. critics call it and attack on press freedom. the

antonio medical welcome to the program. chinese president shooting things arrived in front, kicking off his 1st trip to the e. u since 2019. she is due to meet with the french president, the amount of acr on monday may during the week. the chinese president will continue on to serbia and hungry with 2 countries that are seen as closer to the aging. and you need is, are divided over how to deal with china and it's growing global influence. and you cannot make, might the full towers the same. but china is relationship with the west has changed since using ping last visited europe in 2019. jacoby pandemic, beijing's packing from russia's ukraine war it's going or far as heritage and trade tensions of electric vehicles, subsidies and suspicions of wide scale chinese espionage and your pin capitals of

complicated relations. this is the phone. what this visit is, the 1st by china is head of state. so to europe, in the past 5 years, it was of great significance to promoting chinese relationships with bronze. uh so it'd be a hungry one and the overall development of the china, your relationship. you generally should, you will be in part to seem to know china's economic muscle and growing global influence. i've left your up, divide these on how to deal with beijing. she will be happy to exploit those divisions is the content and struggles to define his role between the united states and china. in paris, she in france is a manual macro and we'll talk of a trade and investment in the middle east. macro names to drum up business with french firms. convince she not to get further involved in russia's war and ukraine . france sees she's visit, which officially mark 60 is a french chinese diplomatic relations as an impulse and diplomatic moments. and wants to focus on china is broader relations with the you,

my chrome is invited. you are paying commission present slough on the line to the talks of the funds she will have to. so it'd be a for talk for the president. how big's on the boot kitchen? i know sorry terry and strong men and ally of rushes vladimir putin. cheese last stop is hungry. to meet with prime minister vic to all about hungry wants to deepen diplomatic and trade ties with autocracies, such as russia and china. the states on easily with it's e u and they to membership so that they may have coaching castle long shot over the visit sheet and to, to describe that relationship as without limits by visiting like minded hungry. and so it'd be a, china is testing the use balancing act between beijing and brussels. a tele griego is a senior fellow at the same time simps incentive in washington dc. also what the chinese president aims to achieve during his visit to europe. i would say the main

goal here is really damage control you do as a result of the war and ukraine as well as rising trade disputes. china. the meet your pin view of china has really taken a hint. and this is really an attempt for him to come there the 1st time in 5 years and tried to reset relations and put them perhaps more on a more pragmatic cooperative study. but looking at the different european countries, are they all sort of unified in terms of this stance towards china? no, not at all. and this i think is very much reflected either you can see the difference is in the language for this. for example, great britain uses versus germany, or you to service certainly serbia, or hungry. i mean, i don't think it's an accident. the 3 countries that he's visiting, including france, that varying degrees, france, serbia, hungry. i agree and some to some degree with the chinese about the need for it and

not to just be a us versus the china choice. the country is navigating a 3rd way either. this is certainly with the practice of replies to this word and college leadings. i've been talking about strategic autonomy and strategic sovereignty. and so i think he's trying in this visit to remind europe that there is another path. one that actually has significant economic opportunities, which i'm sure will be highlighted when he visits serbian hungry. and of course, the 1st is meeting him on, on a crawl, friends can my call and get a season ping to use his influence over russia to bring an end to the war and ukraine. yes, i think this is certainly one of the things that will be discussed during their top and the french, i would say a mom european leaders at home is the one who believes the most strongly. it seems that beijing does have some leverage to help move rush out towards negotiating table. i don't expect to actually see much progress made on this issue at the

moment in part, because i think the russians are so, believe they can win militarily on the battlefield. so i think it will be hard for the chinese to make a lot of movement. the issue i would look at to see if we have progress is that they're supposed to be a you creating a peace conference in switzerland, in mid june. and the chinese have been non committal about attending that the russians are, will not be there. and if we see any evidence, the chinese might send some kind of delegation to that, even if it's low level, that would be a positive development. and we've talked about the different the 3 countries um, changing things going to fond sylvia and hungry, but brussels is not on the agenda. can we read much into that? yes, i think that's interesting. i mean, we do know that the european commission president will be attending some of the topics with the phone representing the european union there. and so i think this

is, you know, the russians to, as our chinese tend to prefer bilateral relationships and for seen by level diplomacy. and so i think to a large extent, that's what's reflected here. and, and the other thing to meet with heads of state of various countries and not the european union itself. okay, how often is it that can agree causing a fellow with the re imagining us grand strategy, a program at the stimson center. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you . let us look at some other stories making headlines around the world. israel has begun mocking hole across remembrance day with a ceremony at yeah, depression, the country's national holocaust memorial prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and president issac has a both gave speeches, some 6000000 european jews was systematically murdered by nazi germany and its collaborators. during the holocaust you thought the death toll from massive floods that began a week ago in southern brazil has risen to at least 75. tens of thousands of others

sausages. are there for $212.00 days? the deal we're talking now about about now is the humanitarian deal. it's for elderly people, it's for 6 people. it's for young women, and they can't last there anymore. we know that hostages are dying all the time. and if we don't release them now, we don't know who will have to. the slater was a temporary true school. so the, to humanitarian dissolved across the board, the in garza, the you and says pulse of the strip or wendy experiencing from and earlier on sunday is well closed. had him shut on. a keyboard crossing used by any of the homeless militants attacks it. the following the attack is riley times could be seen moving along the boat defense in southern gaza. russell is already being pounded, but he's well from the for the move in
