The President of France says that the European Union should not follow America or China over the Taiwan dispute. In an interview with the local newspaper "Lesco" and the American publication "Politico", Emmanuel Macron said that the European Union is in danger of being caught in the Taiwan issue.  It is a crisis that is not ours.  According to this report, which was published on Sunday, April 20, he said in an interview with the two mentioned media on the flight back from Beijing that the worst thing is for the European Union to think that it has to adapt to the steps of the United States and China's overreactions.  .  Agence France-Presse writes that Mr. Macron's statements could bring the risk of offending Washington and highlighting the differences among EU members in facing China.  Referring to his ideal of the "strategic independence" of the European Union, the French president said: "We must be aware of where our views overlap with the United States, but whether it's about Ukraine, relations with China, or sanctions, we have a European strategy.
