France not seeking economic 'decoupling' from China

France is not seeking an economic decoupling from world's second biggest economy, China, top French diplomat said in Beijing on Monday following a meeting with local officials, while calling for an "economic rebalancing" to ensure trade is "healthy and sustainable".

"It is not desirable to decouple from China," Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne told a press conference in Beijing alongside his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
