The Spin

Pro-China narrative

China and France have a significant history of supporting free trade, multilateralism, and responsible global governance. In an increasingly volatile global environment, putting aside differences and not following America's hostile stance on China can only benefit both France and China in the long term.

Anti-China narrative

France's pandering to China does not benefit Europe. China is an anti-democratic force and must not be allowed to subvert international order in Taiwan as Russia did in Ukraine. Macron's comments are misguided and naive.
