🇪🇺🇹🇼 The European Union's continuous deepening of cooperation with Taiwan is not indicative of any plans to recognize the island's independence
🗣 "We have one very clear policy when it comes to Taiwan, and that policy has not changed. It has always been the EU's one-China policy, which means that the EU continues developing friendly relations and deepening cooperation with Taiwan without any implication of diplomatic recognition," European Commission spokeswoman Nabila Massrali told a briefing.
▪️ Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron paid an official visit to China, after which he said that Europe should not let itself be drawn into the confrontation between the United States and China over Taiwan conforming to "the American rhythm," calling on Europeans to "wake up" and think about their own interests.
