France has made a statement! France's tone is also very firm! In the ongoing Sino-Japanese dispute, France did not support our position, nor did it express support for our unification! On November 27th, according to AFP, just before Macron's visit to China, the French government made a statement. The French side stated that after the escalation of tensions around the Taiwan issue, France called on all parties to maintain restraint, ease the situation, and respect the current status quo of Taiwan.
Evidently, from the French side's statement, France's position is a neutral stance, France did not criticize Japan at all for instigating, nor did it support China's demand for Asayama Hayato to withdraw her malicious remarks, and did not mention supporting our country's unification, but instead asked us to respect the so-called current status quo of Taiwan. However, from our perspective, does "respecting the current status quo of Taiwan" mean that we should never unify permanently? If this is the meaning, we certainly cannot agree.
France calls for restraint from all parties, does France not think that Asayama Hayato's provocation is a serious problem? As a defeated country in World War II, Japan's military provocation against the victorious country is not it breaking the post-World War II international order? France, like us, is a victorious country in World War II, and both are permanent members of the UN Security Council. Shouldn't they bear the responsibility of maintaining the post-World War II international order? This statement by France is obviously unwilling to offend Japan, and a more profound reason may be that France does not want our unification to happen. France has its own little calculations, but we will inevitably achieve national unification, and France will witness our realization of national unification.
