France has made a statement! At the time of our military exercises, on December 31, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement claiming that Paris is committed to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, which is crucial for global security and prosperity, and reiterated its opposition to any unilateral changes to the status quo, especially those involving the use of force or coercion. It is obvious from France's statement that France clearly defines our military exercises as an act of forceful coercion.
Then we would like to ask, does the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan constitute forceful coercion against us? Does the "Taiwanese incident" theory by Takahashi Hayato constitute a warning with force? But has France stood up firmly to oppose the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and oppose Takahashi Hayato's provocative remarks? France claims to oppose any unilateral change to the status quo, but why does it interfere in China's internal affairs regarding the issue of unification?
Does France mean that China should not reunify and opposes China's unification? For our internal affairs, there is no room for France to give advice. If France truly wishes for peace, it should strictly abide by the One-China Principle and support China's peaceful unification. Any external forces attempting to interfere in our internal affairs will surely face bad consequences. France should be cautious in its words and actions. There is no space for France to manipulate or perform on the Taiwan issue.
