Macron's Controversial Stance on China and Taiwan Draws Criticism and Praise

French President Emmanuel Macron clarifies that France's position on Taiwan has not changed and that he favors the current "status quo" in respect of the island. Macron's comments had prompted a backlash in the United States and Europe, with some accusing him of "kissing ass" to Beijing.
