French President Emmanuel Macron said China can play a “major role” in Ukraine while adding that he opposes moves to decouple from the world’s second-biggest economy, as he pushes Europe to take a more moderate stance toward Beijing than the US is demanding.

Moments after Macron landed in China for a three-day visit, he made clear his strategy to appease tensions and find common ground with Beijing on several fronts, starting with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He suggested that China could use its close ties with Russia to push for peace.

“We need to try to engage with China strategically and speak with them directly about this Russian aggression and the consequences for Europe,” Macron said in a speech at the French embassy, a day before a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
