France is trying to understand (just like any other countries) if China is bullshitting, strangely honest, or Putin's scapegoat to retreat from Ukraine. Macron has said, very clearly : it is to the Ukranians to choose the terms and conditions of a peace deal.

Just like Zelensky, he's trying to poke china to see whats up with their rethoric. Is China setting an escape route for Putin ? Is China serious about this ? Or are they starting to feel the pressure on them ?
