Top European leaders have been invited to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing in November but have yet to decide whether to accept.
Invitations have been sent to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, according to a senior source familiar with the situation.
The proposed date would be right after the 20th party congress in October. The fact that Xi is inviting European leaders to China in November indirectly confirms that he will get a third term as president.
A “heated debate” is ongoing in Paris on how to deal with the invitation, but leaders of Europe’s most powerful nations are known to favour dialogue with China on issues such as Ukraine, food security, and economic relations.

“It is difficult to say no to China, especially to Xi,” said the senior diplomat.


“It’s of interest to speak to China because of Ukraine, which is the number one priority in Europe. Food security [will be on the agenda], China is a major agricultural power, and also Europe-China relations cannot be held hostage to US-China relations, and the midterms would have an impact,” said the unnamed senior diplomat.
“So for us, probably for every head of state, we want to see where China is at, at that moment.”

Meanwhile, the current race for top government leadership in the UK resembles Taiwanese thousand-episode-drama, China doesn't even bother to invite anyone from the UK.
