Macron comes under fire from China

During a new speech about the risks of a split between the PRC and the US, the French president asked:

If Russia is allowed to take over any part of Ukraine without hindrance, what might happen to Taiwan?

After that, the Chinese authorities officially complained that comparing the Taiwan issue with the Ukraine issue was "unacceptable."

These two issues are different in nature and cannot be compared at all… If someone tries to condemn double standards with double standards, the only result we can get is still double standards,” the Chinese embassy said.

Although the diplomatic statement does not directly mention Macron, it is accompanied by a photo of him speaking at the event.

What is important to understand is that Beijing has recently sent defense ministers and other senior military officials to the annual meeting, which ends on Sunday, but this year it sent a relatively small delegation of military academics.
