With regard to Taiwan, France has repeatedly stated that it will adhere to the one-China policy. However, at a time when the situation in the Taiwan Strait is very tense, France has already signed a contract with Taiwan. On this point, Minister Wang Yi did not question France face-to-face, but only used another method to get his own answer.
Recently, Taiwan** reported that Taiwan ** has made a resolution to update the aging**, and has signed a contract with France, with a total value of up to 2.4 billion yuan. According to this agreement, the French party will purchase the corresponding accessories for the "Kangding" class for its modification and updating.
You must know that at present, due to the capsizing of the fishing boat in Kinmen, the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is quite grim, and Taiwan has even come up with relevant regulations to signal that it will "fire the first shot" at the mainland. At this tense time, France jumped out again to refit Taiwan's warships, which inevitably makes people feel that France's move is to help Taiwan and confront China head-on.
More importantly, France has repeatedly adhered to the one-China policy on the Taiwan issue. France's Macron once said that France's attitude towards Taiwan is consistent, and it will not change due to the US policy, and does not want to become a vassal state of the United States, but he also warned European countries not to blindly interfere in Taiwan's internal affairs.
At present, whether France's public appeal to Taiwan is true or not, China must give an exact answer.
French Macron meets Wang Yi".
According to the plan, after the Munich security conference, Wang Yi will go to France, which is a good time to "reconcile".
In fact, when Wang Yi was at the meeting of the Mu'an Society, he met with the French governor Céjourne. During the visit, Wang Yi fully appraised the achievements made by China and France in this regard, and gave France enough respect, saying that France is an independent force with international influence, and hoped that France could make useful contributions to the friendly relations between China and Europe.
When Wang Yi talked to France's Macron, he did not directly ask France ***'s questions, but made a series of requests.
Wang Yi first pointed out that the 60-year diplomatic relations between China and France will become an important opportunity for our two countries to further strengthen cooperation and common development. Next, Wang Yi talked about the complexity of the current world situation and stressed that France, as a member of the UN Security Council, has the obligation to shoulder the responsibility of promoting world peace and security. Wang Yi stressed that the current international situation is chaotic and fragmented, which is not beneficial to all parties, and we expect France to take its future and future into its own hands and adhere to the path of independence.
A "Kangding". 】
Macron seems to understand the meaning of Wang Yi's words. France also expressed its opinion, and Macron expressed that he would maintain good relations with China. At the same time, it also highlights that France has always adhered to the one-China principle, which is very clear. Wang Yi co-chaired the 25th China-France Strategic Dialogue with France's Foreign Affairs Assistant, Mr. Boene, who reaffirmed that he will continue to adhere to the one-China policy.
France's positive re-emphasis on the Taiwan issue shows that France knows very well that the Taiwan issue has a bearing on China's "bottom line" and is also the cornerstone of all cooperation, and everything must be prepared in advance so that future cooperation can proceed smoothly. This time, it is to clarify some of the previous differences, as well as the military embargo on Taiwan. Overall, Minister Wang Yi did not raise any questions about France, but he still got the answer he wanted.
Moreover, if we look at the agreement between France and Taiwan, it is easy to see that it is not really a cooperation at all.
This time, the contract signed between the Taiwan Military Region and France was based on a French destroyer against Taiwan in the nineties, and only a small number of spare parts were supplied. At that time, France, the United States and other Western countries did have more contacts with Taiwan. Therefore, this time, France and Taiwan believe that this batch of arms deals is nothing more than a backup, and it does not mean that France will really sell arms to Taiwan like the United States.
Macron refuses to become a vassal state of the United States].
What's more, the French side itself is a profitable business, and of course they will not object. However, we still have to remind France that there is no fundamental contradiction of interests between China and France, and there is still a lot of room for cooperation between the two countries. However, France's current actions do not fully understand and grasp the profound meaning between China and France, and only focus on short-term interests while ignoring long-term considerations.
Macron has long expected France to play a "bellwether" role under European leadership, leading it to true strategic independence, so France should be more realistic about Sino-French cooperation. In order for the United States to maintain its original hegemonic status, in the end, the United States will only "cut leeks" again and again, and there is no shortage of living cases in the struggles of Russia, Ukraine, Palestine and Israel.
Today marks 60 years of diplomatic relations between China and France, and it should be an excellent opportunity to enhance the friendly cooperation between the two countries. France** and relevant policymakers should seize the opportunity to take more measures that are conducive to the development of bilateral relations, and not do anything that harms China's core interests, especially the Taiwan issue, and let the French side make a good calculation.
