Why Beijing is being urged to be on good terms with Paris
France is preparing to take over the rotating European Union presidency in January, prompting Beijing to urge Paris to remain independent on foreign policy and develop a good working relationship
China’s Foreign Minister says the French government has the ability to repair and strengthen ties between China and the EU, following troubled relations in recent times.
This all comes as the European Union prepares to meet and discuss China’s position over the Taiwan Strait, with tensions also rising around alleged human rights breaches in the nation’s XIN-JANG region.
China has since hit out at sanctions imposed by the west surrounding these alleged abuses.
The Foreign Ministry is calling France a major power with an “independent tradition and strategic thinking”.
It says “France should take the opportunity of holding the rotating presidency of the EU to push China-EU relations – to eliminate interference and overcome difficulties”.
Meanwhile, the US is working hard to strengthen ties with Europe to counter China, with Beijing pushing the EU to stay out of its spat with Washington.
Beijing says “strengthening dialogue between China and Europe is beneficial to both sides and the world at large”.

ABC Facebook page hacked, porn star images briefly posted before being removed and security measures launched
– ABC News Facebook page was briefly hacked, displaying an explicit photo of Bonnie Blue for 20 minutes.
– An investigation was launched after unauthorised access to a staff account led to the incident.
The ABC News Facebook page experienced a brief hack on Tuesday, featuring an explicit cover photo of adult model and OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue. The photo, showing Blue kneeling with her name written across her forehead, was displayed for approximately 20 minutes before being removed.
An ABC spokesperson confirmed the incident was due to unauthorised access to a staff account. Following the incident, the Facebook page was left without a cover photo. Other content posted included a glossy headshot of fellow adult entertainer Lily Phillips and a humorous image of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
The ABC promptly secured their Facebook page following the unauthorised access. An investigation into the breach has been launched to improve security measures.
Security Response
Many reactions followed the posts during their brief availability. Comments included jokes about new hosts for the cancelled series Q&A. Blue gained notoriety in 2025 for claiming to set a world record by engaging with 1,057 men in a single day.
Her plans for a controversial Schoolies event in 2024 led to her being banned from Australia after a public petition garnered significant support.
The cover photo used was sourced from the artwork for ‘Bonnie Blu,’ a single by American rapper Lil Mabu.
