On November 12, Bloomberg reported that French President Macron is considering a "bold move" to invite Chinese leaders to the G7 summit in 2026 in vian, France. The report sharpwittedly pointed out that Macron's government is struggling domestically, and his main leverage lies in playing an important political role on the world stage. According to multiple sources, France has discussed this idea with allies including Germany, who generally support it. However, it is unclear whether China will accept the invitation, and it is uncertain how other G7 member countries will react. In response to the reports, the lyse Palace stated that France hopes to engage with major emerging economies willing to help address global imbalances. The sources also mentioned that Macron plans to visit China in December this year. This is not the first time rumors have surfaced about Macron visiting China. The Chinese ambassador to France recently told the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post that Macron's visit to China has "no major obstacles" and both sides are coordinating on a suitable time.
