At the opening of the defense and security forum shangri-la dialogue in Singapore, Emmanuel Macron suggested, Friday evening, that a Invasion de Taïwan by China could be assimilated to that of Ukraine by Russia.
Words that were immediately denounced by Beijing. “Compared Taiwan’s question to the Ukrainian problem is unacceptable. The two are of different natures, and in no case comparable, “reacted the Chinese Embassy in Singapore, where the French head of state had expressed.
Taiwan, an inalienable part of China, according to Beijing
Beijing has reaffirmed that “Taiwan’s question is a subject strictly internal to China”. “There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory,” hammered Chinese diplomacy in a press release on Facebook.
The territory of Taiwan has escaped since the 1949 revolution in the control of Beijing, which has not excluded it to take it by force if necessary and multiplies the maneuvers around the island. This Saturday, The US Secretary of DefensePete Hegseth, accused China of preparing itself “potentially using military force” in Asia-Pacific and “training every day” for an invasion of Taiwan.
“If we consider that Russia can be authorized to seize a part of the territory of Ukraine without restriction, without constraint, without reaction of the world order, what will we say about what could happen in Taiwan? “Asked Emmanuel Macron.
The President of the Republic added that “if China does not want NATO to be involved in Southeast Asia or Asia, it should clearly prevent North Korea from being involved on European soil”, where Pyongyang has deployed soldiers against Ukraine alongside Russia.
