French President Emmanuel Macron's remarks still reverberate within the old continent and the United States. He called for the independence of the European position towards Taiwan away from the U.S.

Macron has been trying to accelerate the creation of a "federal Europe" or "Europe of defense" to establish a common and strong army since his first speech at the Sorbonne in 2017. The French president's shift of his compass towards China to achieve the economic, military and strategic interest of Paris is legitimate.
