He is maybe the French leader who had received Chinese delegations the most.

I do not remember how many times we had shot “round table” images in his office when he met Chinese officers, ministers etc.

This time I went to his office to be shot

Of course we talked mainly about his trip in China right after his returning. But we started from his first trip in 60’s right after the official relationship between France and the P.R.China, with his meetings with the Chinaman MAO and PM ZHOU Englai, who speaks fluently French, answered by Poncelet.

After our interview, he showed me very proudly the pictures of his “third generations”, one of them is now a student in China, who will work for the coming Olympic Games in Beijing as he speaks fluently French, English, and Chinese.

Do you hope that Sarkozy goes to the opening ceremony in August?
His turn of asking questions.

Me? Personally? Well, the same as most of the Chinese. To be honestly, it doesn’t really matter at all! The Olympics will not change anything with or without some politic leaders.

Do you want me to go then?
Another “personal” question.

Ah, this brought me a good idea:
“ You should attends the opening ceremony as the representative of the France, then Sarkozy will go with his new friend Golden Brown for the closing ceremony. In the way, we will settle up all the problems as political games to make everybody at ease”

We both laughed.
What about the French media, what they will again get as “messages” if this joke comes true? )))))
