Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed Beijing’s position on Taiwan during talks in Beijing on Tuesday, following recent remarks by Japan’s prime minister suggesting Tokyo could respond to a potential Chinese attack on the island.
Speaking with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot, who accompanied President Emmanuel Macron on a three-day state visit to China, Wang called on Paris to “continue to understand and support” China’s stance on Taiwan.
The comments come after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said last month that a hypothetical Chinese attack on self-governed Taiwan could prompt a response from Japan, remarks that drew a sharp rebuke from Beijing.
Wang said China and France should “enhance communication and cooperation” to strengthen mutual understanding and stability, describing the relationship as vital amid increasing geopolitical tension in the Asia-Pacific region.
Macron’s visit — his fourth state trip to China — includes meetings in Beijing and Chengdu, with discussions focused on trade, climate cooperation, and regional security. The visit also follows calls from European leaders for a balanced approach toward China amid deepening strategic competition.
