After attending the Munich Security Talks, the Chinese Prime Minister went to France and served as the chairman of the 25th Sino-French Strategic Dialogue together with French Foreign Affairs Assistant Jean-Pierre Boene. During this period, France's Macron met with our chief executive and reiterated that France has always adhered to the one-China policy, and its attitude is very clear and clear. In addition, PropNex also reiterated France's attitude of adhering to the one-China principle.
As everyone knows, the Taiwan issue concerns China's core interests, and the basic principle of Sino-French relations is one China, so it is very important for China that France and his cabinet have repeatedly made such assurances. However, is the guarantee of the French side reliable? First, take a look at a message.
Not long ago, Taiwan and a French country's defense export agency signed a sale and purchase agreement of about 550 million yuan. According to the agreement, the next step will be for the French "International Defense Council" to purchase in France "parts and accessories for the carrier of the ship warfare system" for the "Kangding" type to be used by the Taiwan fleet.
Under the leadership of Macron, France is well aware that Taiwan is a very sensitive issue within China, and China will never let other countries provide Taiwan with it. In this context, on the one hand, Macron adheres to the one-China policy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he secretly conducts arms sales with Taiwan, and sells arms to China, which is not friendly enough and will also hurt the friendship between China and France.
So let's return to the previous question, are the guarantees of the French side credible? I don't know what everyone thinks, but I think the assurances made by Macron and his senior ** may be affected. What happened to France gives us a brutal truth, that is, in this world, there is no friendship to speak of, only interests, no feelings.
Therefore, when France has good relations with China, it can also send arms to Taiwan to help them upgrade their warships, for the simple reason that it is to make money. As for China not making money from Taiwan, that's not okay, don't talk about friendship or anything like that.
Of course, this also implies that the strategic cooperation between China and France is continuing to deepen, but if the United States can give France greater benefits, then France may not oppose the American position. Let Europe be independent, let France become the hegemon of Europe, has Macron done this all these years? Same as before.
Everyone has their own shortcomings, and Macron is one of them, and he can sit in this position because he has strong support. As civilians, no one knows what the forces behind Macron think, do they really want to tear their faces with the United States and completely erase the influence of the United States? This is not necessarily, the stakes in this are not so easy to cut off.
In this context, it is feasible to deepen the strategic cooperation between China and France, but it is unrealistic to expect Macron to lead France against the United States and expect Macron to fully support China. When it comes to friendship, France and the United States formed an alliance 200 years ago, and without the support of France, the independence of the United States would not have been achieved.
