In 1964, France took the lead in breaking the ice and became the first major Western country to establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with New China.
The unique history of Sino-French relations has shaped the "Sino-French spirit" of independence, mutual understanding, foresight, and mutual benefit. At the beginning of a new era, China-France relations are showing great vitality and vitality.
Continuing the "Chinese style" that emerged in France more than 300 years ago, music, drama, film and television, literature, etc. have now become the link between China and France, two ancient and unique civilizations, that attract each other, pay attention to each other, and learn from each other.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, bilateral trade volume has increased by more than 800 times. China has become France's largest trading partner in Asia, and France is China's third largest trading partner and third largest source of actual investment in the EU.
This year is the year of the Olympics. The upcoming Paris Olympics has made Yiwu, the "world supermarket" thousands of miles away, popular, and has also historically given special favor to Shanghai, China.
Shanghai and Budapest have been selected as host cities for the Paris Olympic qualifying series. 464 athletes will compete for more than 150 tickets to the Paris Olympics in four events: freestyle BMX, break dancing, skateboarding and rock climbing.
In Paris in May, lilies of the valley bloomed, and the "Sino-French spirit" was evident in every interaction and gathering between the two sides. It will surely illuminate the way forward and make the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership stronger and more dynamic in the new era.
