Since the displacement of Nancy Pelosi on the island of Taiwan, which angered China, the left scarf on the subject.
Within the Nupes, the Socialist Party and Europe-Ecology the Greens are on the side of the Taiwanese Democrats, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the Communists advocate the status of "one China".
TO ANALYSE
One China, or independent Taiwan?
This question has divided the left since the trip of Nancy Pelosi, the head of the American deputies, to the island claimed by the Chinese authorities.
The leader of the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon considered that this coming was a provocation, by reaffirming the existence of a single China.
Remarks immediately welcomed by the Chinese ambassador to France, but rejected by his allies from the majority of his allies within the Nupes.
The first secretary of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure affirms as for him to be at the side of the Taiwanese democrats against the Chinese authoritarian regime.
We find the same story among environmentalists: for Julien Bayou, deputy for the fifth district of Paris, the provocation comes from China.

I do not share it at all", he had declared at the microphone of Raphaël Delvolvé, before continuing: "We cannot blame him for not being a sincere position at home. Moreover, it joins what is, and I regret it there too, the official position of France".
The leader of La France insoumise is not isolated on this subject.
He can count on his communist allies, loyal to the Beijing regime.
Hand in hand with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Fabien Roussel denounces "an American provocation" and calls for calm in the region.
