Macron und Scholz auf Kurs - Strategische Annäherung durch Zeitenwende?

The French president's comments on Taiwan have made waves in Europe. And rightly so. Emmanuel Macron has gone too far this time. Once again, he wanted to provoke his partners and thus initiate a new debate about Europe's strategic autonomy. In the end, he got himself into hot water diplomatically. His message was lost and the impression took root that he wanted to maintain an equidistance from the U.S. and China in the conflict over the island state. It has often been overlooked that France, with its overseas territories and its 9 million km2 exclusive economic zone, does have interests in the region, and vital ones at that.
