Elysee-Macron Makes No Apology For Comments On China Trip

FRANCE

Wires reporting comments from an official at the Elysee Palace regarding President Emmanuel Macron's recent trip to China. States that Macron "makes no apology for what he's said during China trip." Says that the headline of a recent Politico interview was 'sensationalist' and that Macron had said nothing in the interview that was not known already.

  • Official says Macron "told Xi in Beijing he wanted the Taiwan issue to be solved pacifically'. During recent Chinese military exercises, the French navy patrolled through the Taiwan Strait.
  • Elysee official: 'When Macron talked to US President Joe Biden ahead of the China trip, Biden said he didn't want a war'. Says that Macron 'agrees with Biden on Taiwan, but doesn't agree with US Congress leadership strategy to use Taiwan to pressure China.
  • Official states that former US President Donald Trump's comments regarding President Macron were 'vulgar' and that when Trump went to Beijing he said 'I can't blame China'.
  • Macron's interview with Politico/Les Echos saw a backlash from China hawks in EU and US who argued the president's comments saying that Europe should not get involved in "crises that aren't ours" would embolden China to pursue military action against Taiwan.
