French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot makes his first visit to China, where he met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi AFP France's foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot called for a "powerful Franco-Chinese partnership" amid geopolitical turmoil, as he met Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Thursday for talks on the war in Ukraine and Beijing's trade row with Europe. China has said it hopes this week's visit by Barrot will see the countries deepen cooperation in a world facing "turbulence and transformation". It has said the two sides will discuss ways to "jointly resist unilateralism and the resurgence of the law of the jungle" -- a veiled reference to US President Donald Trump, whose return to the White House in January has rocked the international order.
