Chinese FM Wang Yi held a phone conversation with French FM Jean-Noël Barrot.
Wang said that the one-China principle is the political foundation of the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership. China hopes that the French side will uphold the one-China principle through concrete actions, refrain from any form of official engagement with China’s Taiwan, and send no wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” forces.
Protectionism will not enhance Europe’s competitiveness but will instead deprive consumers of high-quality and affordable products, drive up inflation and hamper the process of green transition. China is one of the world’s largest markets and China’s development presents an opportunity rather than a challenge for the #
