French President Emmanuel Macron called on Europe and Asia to forge a united front as U.S.-China tensions spike and the Ukraine crisis lingers. His impassioned appeal for collective strategic balance reflects the high-stakes dynamics in today’s fraught international arena.
At the Shangri-La forum, Macron warns that forcing nations to choose sides in U.S.-China tensions could dismantle post-WWII institutions and global peace efforts.
The French president says smaller nations should unite to protect the 'global order' without being forced to choose sides.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned the U.S. and a large audience of Indo-Pacific nations Friday night that they risk a dangerous double standard as they concentrate on a potential conflict with China if that shift comes at the cost of abandoning Ukraine.
Macron's speech comes amid a regional tour that has also taken him to Vietnam and Indonesia.
