Macron Pushes for the "Third Way," Seeks New Breakthroughs in Southeast Asia

Radio France Internationale reported today (May 24th): "Macron promotes a 'third way' beyond the US and China during his Southeast Asia tour. French President Macron will embark on a six-day Southeast Asia trip this weekend, visiting Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore in turn. This itinerary is the latest embodiment of France's 'Indo-Pacific Strategy,' aiming to advocate for a 'third path' between the US and China."

[Wisdom] Comment: Macron is very attentive to this Southeast Asia trip, and he will also deliver an opening speech at the "Shangri-La Dialogue" in Singapore. In recent years, European countries such as France and Germany have successively introduced their own "Indo-Pacific Strategies" and continuously increased their investment in Southeast Asia. However, overall, compared with China, France's investment in Southeast Asia still has a significant gap, and its investment scale in the region remains relatively limited.
