Recall that on the eve of the official caused a diplomatic scandal, saying that the Crimea may not belong to Ukraine territorially. The French Foreign Ministry noted that they were “horrified” by the corresponding statement, writes Le Figaro .
They called on China to explain whether such words reflect the country’s general position or whether it is Lu Shaye’s own opinion. Paris hopes that China still has other views.
The publication also recalled that the territory of Ukraine within the borders of 1991, together with the Crimea, was officially recognized by all UN countries, including China.
The publication indicates that at the moment the behavior of Chinese leader Xi Jinping is difficult to interpret unambiguously. In more than a year of full-scale war, he still has not held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, despite calls to that effect.
However, the PRC leader has already managed to visit Moscow, thus confirming his intentions to continue partnership with dictator Vladimir Putin, writes Le Figaro.

Make no mistakes! Bat virus land is maneuvering itself into a position to take Taiwan. Bat virus land has seen enough to know what Western “resolve” looks like.
It sure would be a hell of a lot easier for the bat virus spreaders to take Siberia than try to take Taiwan. Besides, Siberia is a lot larger and has more resources.
Indeed, but bat virus land wants the massive chip manufacturing infrastructure in Taiwan.
The Chinese commies have to know all that would be destroyed if Taiwan was invaded, don’t they?
It should be a part of the over all defense strategy, Red, and should even be announced loud and clear to the chinks that this key industry would self-destruct if there’s any danger of them getting taken.
