Macron's China comments draw criticism from Germany and US politicians.
TL;DR Summary
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is set to visit China amid international backlash against French President Emmanuel Macron's comments on Taiwan. German officials have stressed that Germany and the EU care about Taiwan and stability in the region, arguing it's mainly China that must contribute to de-escalation by refraining from aggressive military maneuvers close to the island nation. Baerbock is expected to "set the record straight" during her trip to China, which will involve meetings with Beijing's Foreign Minister Qin Gang, Vice President Han Zheng and top diplomat Wang Yi.
