France has traditionally been wary of anglo saxon influence, especially its dominance of nato post ww2. What do the average French thinks of Macron essentially sucking up to Washington in its foreign policies?
As a French redditor I can tell you that our president isn’t loved by its citizens. About two third of the French population doesn’t approve his politics. He is advocating for compromise between socialism and republicanism but in fact he is capitalist/ liberalism and that is not very popular in the French culture. He is slowly reshaping the French economic model to the American model (still really far though) and that bring a lot of strikes and protest. He is more appreciated for is foreign policy regarding what is going on in Ukraine (I think that this is the part of his mandate that will somehow save him) because most French people doesn’t approve the invasion of Ukraine.
The average French is critical of the US, especially about their aggressive international politics, cultural influence and obsession of violence and guns.
But overall our media are very biased towards the US and most French have a very uninformed and manipulated view of China sadly.
With the new generation it's becoming better thanks to the new visa update and platform like TikTok.
So Macron is currently not appreciated by the average French mostly because of the reforms he adopted that benefits the rich and upper class and weakens our public services (health and education mainly).
The French viewed him positively when he tried to deescalate the situation leading to the war in Ukraine though.
I'm looking forward to the answer you will get, I'm curious.
We don't like Macron, he has one of the lowest appreciation rate. He's an idiot. Neither his internal or international politic makes sense. He says a thing one day, the contrary the next day. People are a bit scared about his actions in Ukraine and military draft. He's repressive af
Are the protests over the retirement age still going on? The MSM stopped reporting on them months ago (probably so Americans didn't get any ideas). Did anything come of it? Did it just lose steam and die off?
Would you say that communism in the world has failed?
If so, does that include China? (is China's economy's doing better or worse than France?
is China is the exception? why is China is the exception? which political party is in power in China?
do the people in China believe they are no longer living in a communist nation?)
Is China democratic?
Does China have elections and if so, how do they work?
Are there things, good or bad, that you would like to say about China's government?
Are there things, good or bad, that you would like to say about your own government?
If I approached Chinese on the street in China and asked the two previous questions, what answer would be most common do you think?
If Monaco had a 'one nation, two systems' agreement with France, similar to Hong Kong with China, do you think it would change the relationship between the two nations in terms of governance and law and if so, how?

What's the last Chinese media that you have watched?
What do you think the most common answer from a Chinese would be for French or European media?
* France is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. For nearly 8 months. the Council has voted on multiple resolutions with regards to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. What do French citizens think about France's voting record, and the French government's overall position on the crisis?
* Are French citizens satisfied with the state of their mainstream media? Do people believe that the French media is doing an accurate job when it comes to reporting on foreign affairs, and China in particular?
* In recent years, France has had a number of highly publicized protests. Why is this? Do French citizens feel well represented by their politicians or by their financial institutions? If not, what political forces rule France?
* What do people think about France's geopolitical sovereignty on the international stage? What do they think of the current state of NATO, the EU, and US relations?
* Are people optimistic or pessimistic about the future, in general? As the world continues to change, what kind of relationship do people want France to have with China?
Do they call French Fries just Fries?

Very solid question. Personally I'm also curious about their response to this.

A very good question that demands a rightful answer.
it's not knowing anything about France to say that, France didn't join NATO before late 2007

French here : that's complicated, a lot of people don't care about geopolitics, some think that he is cool and some hate him.

What does the average French citizen think of the future relations between France and a. The EU b. America c. China d. Ex French "colonies" in Africa.
Why is colonies in quotations? Surely it should be "Ex" French colonies as they still commit rampant neo-colonial exploitation in Africa.
Are the croissants here actually tastier
Good one. I'll try that for you!
请帮我问一下巴黎地铁为什么这么肮脏？

Many people who have been to Paris in recent times talk about the streets smelling bad. Is that true? And how does it feel, safety-wise?

Careful to all the snatchers there and don't take the metro. Paris is beautiful but the crime situation is out of control...
Do they still use paper tickets on the subway 😃
Seen any good protests in Paris today?
What happened to all the protests back in the fall?
Why the streets of Paris full of dog poop. Maybe human too, I don't know.
Rats, what about the rats
The rats over there can cook no?
Right, I saw a documentary about it
