“The comparison of Taiwan’s question with the question of Ukraine is unacceptable,” the Chinese Embassy told Singapore Facebook publication SATURDAY. “The two are of a different nature, and not at all comparable,” added the embassy, accusing the Macron of a “double standard”.
US Secretary for Defense, Pete Hegseth, told Shangri-La Forum Friday that a Threat of China in Asia could be “imminent”. Any Chinese military movement in Taiwan “would lead to devastating consequences for Indo-Pacific and the world,” said Hegseth.
Macron also warned that Europe’s credibility was at stake During the perception, he had given a “free pass” to Israel, which brought Gaza to the edge of the famine and killed more than 50,000 civilians since October 2023.
“If we abandon Gaza, if we consider that there is a free pass for Israel, even if we condemn the terrorist attacks, we kill our own credibility in the rest of the world,” said Macron.
