During a recent visit to Australia, French Foreign Minister Colonna referred to the actions of the Chinese ** ship against Australian ships and the Taiwan Strait, and said that stability in the Taiwan Strait needs to be maintained. This statement has attracted wide attention from the outside world. Is France deviating from its one-China policy and siding with anti-China forces such as the United States and Australia?Does this mean that France has not yet made its choice and is still vacillating?In fact, Europe's attitude towards China has been changing. Despite the constant provocation and manipulation by the United States, the EU seems to have begun to deviate from the path of the United States, especially in strengthening cooperation with China.
Although the United States may not be aware of this yet, it seems to have fallen behind in this chess game between China and Europe and the United States. Against this background, does France's statement mean that it is on the side of anti-China forces?Maybe not yet. Although China has signaled that it will strengthen cooperation between the two countries ahead of the French foreign minister's visit to China and implement a visa-free policy for France and six other countries, France's latest statement seems to imply that it has not yet made a choice between China and the United States. It is hoped that France will make the right choice to promote the friendly development of China and France.
A series of recent events between France and China have raised concerns about the relationship between the two countries. China has always emphasized safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity, but in international affairs, China should also consider meeting the expectations of the international community, especially on issues such as human rights. On the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait issue, China has always adhered to the one-China principle, opposes any form of "**", and is committed to maintaining regional peace and stability. However, France appears to be showing dissatisfaction with China's position, which could have long-term implications for relations between the two countries. In future cooperation, it will be crucial to keep the word.
It remains to be seen what impact this series of events will have on Sino-French relations.
