Paris, May 8, 2024 (EIRNS)—"Refusing To Choose between Beijing and Washington, Macron Seeks an Equilibrium That Is Indiscoverable,” is the title of an article by old Soviet hunter Isabelle Lasserre in Le Figaro on May 6, indicating that on the question of China, Macron is upholding his right to have an independent judgment from Washington.
“China is also sensitive to the particular voice of France which Macron would like to transform into a ‘power of equilibrium’ which is ‘neither aligned nor vassal-ized’ and which maintains from the Gaullist era a capacity to remain loyal to its alliances even while stating its points of difference.”
