Q: During a live broadcast yesterday, President Macron said: “You who don’t want China to challenge Taiwan or others – how do you explain that China doesn’t have the right to invade Taiwan but Russia has the right to invade Ukraine ?”
In that regard, can you tell us if the French government still recognizes UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, particularly with regard to support for the “One China” principle?
And how should we understand the President’s use of the word “invade,” in this context ?
A: France’s position hasn’t wavered. We stand by our “One China” policy. France opposes any unilateral change in the status quo through the use of force, or through the threat of the use of force. We are committed to continued peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
