French President Emmanuel Macron says that Europe should have its own strategic autonomy and "avoid the trap to be caught in the crises which are not ours," referring to Taiwan, which is at the core of the current China-US crisis. Currently China is holding massive war games in the vicinity of Taiwan as retaliation of a meeting between Taiwan's President and the US Speaker of the House.
Macron, in an interview on Sunday with French economic daily Les Echos, expressed his belief that China's main preoccupation is the current confrontation with the United States, particularly over Taiwan, and that China sees Europe as a pawn in the conflict.
