I literally had a friend try to convince me that this all demonstrated that Macron is an enlightened statesmen, merely by virtue of taking the opposite line of the US.

I am no defender of US foreign policy. But if someone can be confused into simping for Xi Jinping merely by it being an opportunity to disagree with the US, then you might be a complete idiot.

I am curious to see how the EU deals with Macron's statements in China. There is criticism, but I find it restrained. And from Germany in particular, it comes mainly from the political second row. But I'm happy to be corrected on this.

Eastern European countries seem to be pretty outraged. There has also been some pretty fierce criticism within the French press, such as in La Monde, at how morally bereft his statements were.

The French press is outraged. The press in other European countries is also appalled. But I find the political reaction weak 🤷🏽‍♀️

That’s because Von Dey Leyden was also in China though it was unclear how her meeting went.
