Macron is a buffoon. But so is most of the Western leaders who did nothing when China violated it’s treaty with the UK when it effectively terminated rule by representation in Hong Kong, calling the treaty a “historical document that imposes no restrictions on the present”.
What China meant by that it will honor all treaties, accords, and agreements insofar as it serves its interest, and the moment they no longer do so, China will toss it away as another “historical document”.
Macron is an opportunist, he was licking CCP boots because Airbus is about to launch a second assembly site in China, and Chinese airlines have hundreds of Airbus aircraft on order... always follow the money...
