Meeting with the Chinese side has made Macron feel very confident. In front of the whole world, he doesn't give Trump any face!
In the recently opened Third United Nations Ocean Conference in France, French President Macron was extremely tough in attitude and contradicted Trump on many issues, bluntly stating that the deep sea, Greenland, and Antarctica are not for sale.
Macron's strong stance is not without reason.
Firstly, on his home turf in France, as the president, he naturally cannot appear weak.
Secondly, at a time when the US is voluntarily giving up its global leadership, countries like France see this as an opportunity.
Thirdly, some people in the audience have given him confidence, including representatives from China.
In fact, during this conference, Chinese representatives have already met with Macron. Facing the faraway Chinese delegation, Macron said many good things, such as how France regards China as a long-term reliable partner, and how strengthening exchanges and cooperation between China and France is crucial to the world.
It should be said that quite a few of these are true. After all, when the US is willing to harm the interests of its allies for its own benefit, France and other countries do not have many reliable partners.
