《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是，法国总统马克龙在外交上与中国交往时，添加了一些“个人特色”。报道提到马克龙试图以独特的方式与中国建立关系，他邀请习近平参观了法国南部城市尼斯，并试图在贸易气候变化和俄罗斯等问题上与中国达成一致。但报道同时也提到，马克龙与中国打交道时面临一些挑战和批评，例如在人权和香港问题上如何平衡法国的价值观和经济利益。 评论：这篇报道试图营造一种马克龙在外交上亲近中国的形象，强调他试图与中国建立独特关系和达成一致。但同时，报道也体现出西方媒体常见的对华报道偏见。首先，报道可能过度强调了马克龙在与中国打交道时所面临的挑战和批评，体现出一种西方中心主义的观点，即认为中国和西方国家在意识形态和价值观上存在不可调和的冲突。此外，报道没有深入探讨马克龙外交政策背后的动机和复杂性，而是以一种略带批评的态度进行描述，这可能体现出一种文化上的傲慢和对中国外交政策的误解。西方媒体在报道中国时应尝试摆脱意识形态偏见，以更客观全面的视角看待中国，而不是简单地以西方价值观和意识形态作为评判标准。
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, who believes that a personal touch is the key to diplomacy, lured President Xi Jinping of China to a 7,000-foot pass in the Pyrenees on Tuesday, expecting to show off the sweeping views that had stamped his childhood, but instead finding dense fog and wild snow flurries.
It was a long, slippery road up the mountain, under torrential rain, but that didn’t stop crowds of Chinese admirers with red flags and pennants from gathering in almost every village along the way, miraculously transposed to a remote area of southwestern France and seemingly uniform in their enthusiasm.
Undeterred, but running two hours late, Mr. Macron greeted Mr. Xi under an umbrella at one of his favorite restaurants, L’Étape du Berger, or the Shepherd’s Stop, where dancers in colorful local dress twirled and jigged to the sounds of a flute, an accordion and a tom-tom.
Mr. Xi was impassive, but his wife, Peng Liyuan, smiled broadly and applauded.
Using the familiar “tu” form to address Mr. Xi, 70, rather than the formal “vous” that would have been more customary between heads of state, Mr. Macron, 46, offered the Chinese leader a yellow jersey signed by last year’s Tour de France winner, Jonas Vingegaard, a Danish cyclist.
“I know how much you love sport,” Mr. Macron said. Mr. Xi is known for his interest in soccer.
The Col du Tourmalet, where the leaders met, has mythical status in the Tour de France; its steep and winding ascent is a severe test. It is also a place dear to Mr. Macron, who regularly came here from his home in northern France to stay at the nearby house of his maternal grandmother, Germaine Nogues, the member of his family about whom he speaks most effusively.
