France’s Macron embarks on first China visit - UPI.com
UPI reports: "French President Emmanuel Macron began his first visit to China on Monday, where he hopes to push for lucrative trade deals and strengthen France's ties to Chinese projects like the $900 billion Belt and Road Initiative. Macron, 40, began the trip in the ancient Chinese capital of Xi'an. It was a symbolic gesture signaling his support for Chinese President Xi Jinping's plan to link Europe and Asia through new infrastructure, The Guardian reported Monday. Xi'an is located in landlocked western China."

Comment: That Belt and Road Initiative is really interesting, I think I need to study that a bit more. A Silk Road for the 21st Century has important prophetic implications.
