Europe's Taiwan stance and Macron's China visit scrutinized.

European foreign policy officials have taken a tough stance against China's threats over Taiwan, urging Beijing not to use force over the democratically governed island. Germany's foreign minister said any attempt by China to control Taiwan would be unacceptable and would have serious repercussions for Europe. EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell echoed her remarks, saying any attempt to change the status quo by force would be unacceptable. Borrell also said Europe's future relationship with China depended on it trying to use its influence to find a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.
