Following a three-day visit to China, French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday said that the European Union should distance itself from Chinese-American tensions over Taiwan. Now, his comments are reportedly being hailed by the Chinese as a "brilliant decision." Notably, Macron's statement drew widespread criticism from the international community, but he stood by his remarks during a visit to the Netherlands on Wednesday.
