According to the website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on June 6, 2025, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke on the phone with French Foreign Minister Barrow at the invitation.
Wang Yi said: "China and France both have a tradition of independence and independence. They should enhance strategic mutual trust and respect each other's core interests. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, which concerns China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and there is an essential difference from the Ukrainian issue. China attaches importance to France's commitment to the one-China policy and believes that France will implement this commitment. I hope France will adhere to its correct position and oppose NATO's intervention in Asia-Pacific affairs."
Previously, French President Macron compared the connection between the Taiwan issue and the Ukrainian issue. He said in his keynote speech at the 22nd Shangri-La Dialogue on May 30: "If we think it is possible to allow Russia to occupy part of Ukrainian territory without any restrictions and constraints, and without any response to the international order, what will happen to Taiwan in the future? What will happen to the Philippines one day?"
The Chinese Embassy in Singapore posted a message on a social platform at that time, saying: "It is unacceptable to compare the Taiwan issue with the Ukrainian issue. The Taiwan issue is essentially different from the Ukrainian issue and there is no comparison. The Taiwan issue is completely China's internal affairs. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory. Looking at the 'double standard' with double standards, the result is still a double standard." Although Macron's remarks were not directly mentioned in the article, it was attached with photos of Macron attending the event at the Shangri-La Dialogue.
