Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok receives Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Buda Castle in Budapest, Hungary , May 9, 2024 on Friday with his stop in Budapest, with analysts saying the Chinese leader made an impression but no real breakthroughs on trade and Ukraine tensions.

Macron took Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan to taste local wine and watch a dance performance. They offered him gifts such as berets and a Tour de France yellow jersey. "In France, he got the media images that his home audience expects of him as a respected global leader." "There was no breakthrough," he said, even though Macron had invited European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Paris to press Xi over imbalances in global trade.

"The trip has done little or nothing to improve Europe's strategic confidence or trust in Beijing's direction," said Rory Medcalf, head of the National Security College at the Australian National University. Xi also warned against using the Ukraine crisis"to cast blame, smear a third country and incite a new Cold War", insisting that Beijing was playing a"positive role" in trying to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
