It details shifts in French public opinion from the 1960s Maoist sympathies to tensions following the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown and 2008 Olympics, as well as France's current role in arms sales to Asia and naval operations in the South China Sea. The document also profiles the large Chinese diaspora in France, noting the diverse makeup of the community and the PRC's increasing outreach efforts via its embassy and consulates.
