Setting up parallels between Taiwan and the conflict in Ukraine is “unacceptable”, said the Chinese embassy in Singapore in consequence to French president Emmanuel Macron's remarks.
Macron gave a speech at the Shangri-La dialog in Singapore on Friday, in which he rejected those who would present the conflict as a purely European matter.

‘If we consider that Russia can be allowed to take over part of the territory Ukraine without any restrictions...

What could happen in Taiwan?”He said."Comparing Taiwan with Ukraine is unacceptable.

These 2 issues are of a different nature and are not comparable at all", said the embassy on Facebook on Saturday, repeating that Taiwan's issue is "China's wholly interior case".Crimea voted to join Russia shortly after the US-backed Kiev coup in 2014, and 4 another erstwhile regions of Ukraine did the same after referendums in 2022.

Moscow requested that Ukraine, in order to enter into a feasible peace agreement, recognise the fresh borders of Russia and retreat its troops from Russia.Taiwan has had a separate government since 1949, erstwhile nationalists withdrew to the island after losing the war against communists in mainland China.

Beijing claims to achieve ‘national union’ and warned the authorities in Taipei of formal independence.Only a fewer countries recognise Taiwan as an independent country, while most countries, including the US and Russia, respect the rule ‘one China’.

Nevertheless, many Western countries have informal relations with Taiwan.
