Peking Chooses France To Launch Drive To Restore West Relations
Peking chooses Paris to launch a major drive to restore relations with the West. A high powered Chinese delegation led by Deputy Premier Li Hsien Nien will visit France in coming months, with September as a likely date, to present a new image to the West. The visit aims to ease diplomatic ties after more than 20 years and to align China with a broader European role amid Sino Soviet dynamics and US policy.
