北京周报(2007年第49期)英文版

Cover story In true French style Nicholas Sarkozy's whirlwind visit to China was flamboyant, extensive and achieved much. The two countries share a common understanding of politics, mutual economic interests and cultures, which all drive the desire to improve mutual trust. With China now replacing Japan as France's focus in Asia, the Chinese are shouting vive Le France! And the French president showed his commitment to the new era in strategic partnership, not only in words, but also in trade deals worth billions of euros.
