More years for Macron. According to data from the French Ministry of the Interior, Emmanuel Macron won nearly 60 percent of the votes, while his opponent Marine Le Pen from the far right won over 40 percent, making it a closer race than their last face-off in 2017, when Macron won by a landslide. What do these results represent for French people's political sentiments? And how does this result impact China-France ties?
