French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that being an “ally” of the United States does not mean being its “vassal”, after he distanced himself from Washington’s stance on China-Taiwan tensions.

Guarantor Emmanuel Macron added that France it is “for the status quo” and supports a “peaceful solution” to this conflict in the Far East.
