Bouchez left for China this afternoon. Not as a tourist, but as a guest: “What does Prime Minister De Wever think? I don’t need his agreement”

Georges-Louis Bouchez (MR) is in Beijing this week. Not as a tourist, but as a guest. The chairman of the French-speaking liberals has been invited by the Chinese Communist Party and will, among other things, drink coffee with a confidant of President Xi Jinping during his trip. A man sent ahead to influence foreign politicians. How risky is that? We spoke to Bouchez just before he took off: “Don’t worry, I won’t be tempted.”
