Singapore Shangri-La Dialogue Defense Meeting: Macron Compares Ukraine to the Taiwan Region, Chinese Embassy Rejects "Double Standards" Macron said at the Singapore Shangri-La Dialogue Defense Meeting that if Russia is allowed to occupy any part of Ukraine without restraint, "what about Taiwan?" The Chinese Embassy in Singapore posted that it was "unacceptable" to equate the Taiwan issue with the Ukraine issue. On Saturday, May 31, China criticized linking Ukraine with Taiwan as a "double standard." This is an implicit response to French President Macron's speech on Friday evening in Singapore. As part of his speech on US-China competition, Macron said at the Shangri-La Dialogue Defense Meeting that if Russia is allowed to occupy any part of Ukraine without restraint, "what about Taiwan?" The Chinese Embassy in Singapore posted on Facebook that equating the Taiwan issue with the Ukraine issue was "unacceptable." "The nature of the two is different and they cannot be compared," the post said. It also stated that the Taiwan issue is entirely China's internal affair. "If we try to condemn 'double standards' with double standards, the result will still be double standards," the post said. The embassy's post did not directly mention Macron but included a photo of him speaking at the event.
