Macron's China stance causes controversy for Europe.
TL;DR
Manfred Weber, the European People’s Party chief, criticized French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent comments on China, the U.S., and Taiwan, saying they highlighted the EU’s lack of a common China policy. Weber called on European leaders to “find an agreement” on China during the next European Council in June. Macron’s comments sparked a broad backlash on both sides of the Atlantic, with some calling them a “disaster” for Europe.
