China for France are one of the most important actors in the region to build a multi-polar international order. In the early 90-ies in the mutual relation of France stressed the importance of China’s compliance with human rights. As closer economic relations France ceases to raise these issues in mutual relations. The growing importance of Asia in the foreign policy of France takes place during the presidency of Jacques Chirac, when established global partnership. Despite the strengthening of cooperation unable to avoid clashes between the two countries. President François Hollande’s policy towards China, compared with its predecessors, is based on a more cautious implementation of a “global partnership”. This commitment to reduce France’s relations with China have been defined by the representatives of the French government as “economic diplomacy”. The new strategy of France is to create an ever closer bilateral contacts with India, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Australia, Laos and the Philippines.
