Emmanuel Macron has flown into a storm of criticism after he said Europe should not become a “vassal” and must avoid being drawn into any conflict between the US and China over Taiwan.
This geopolitical spin-manoeuvre is driven by Macron's willingness to push France forward as a world leading country, prioritising French interests, and by doing so, affirming France's wishful "suprémacie".
As well, its a statement by which Macron positions himself as the European leader. It's certainly a move which puts long build political relationships, alliances, and even the European idea itself at stake.
Considering Macron's ambition to mimic Charles De Gaulle's natural charisma and circumstantial magnitude, his recent move could also be understood as a intention of personal profiling, this even more considering his recent inner-political choices to overwrite democratic procedures.
