During a visit to China, German Foreign Minister Baerbock said, "It is unacceptable to change the status quo unilaterally and violently," adding that China is increasing military pressure on Taiwan. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his intention to attach importance to the situation in Taiwan amid the spread of repercussions by saying that Europe should distance itself from the US-China confrontation over Taiwan.
Chinese Foreign Minister Qin reacted by saying, "Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and China's territory cannot be indispensable," while expressing intention to strengthen relations with Germany.
