The problem is that China is leading the change you can see the communist hammer and sickle from small logos on paper to giant statues all over China and the red text on white banners with communist slogans all over China now, that was not the case even in 2016 so this is all new changes in China. I was in China in 2017 so I was there during the start of the transition I saw the new statues being built and the anti western and nationalistic ideas rising in China. For sure I was thinking this is not good and indeed the world has changed. I think the west needs to work together so no one should be a vassal of the other just heavy and serious work on the issue and preparing for the day after trade collapse with China. If UE cannot survive without China then it's time to take action to change that outcome.

Actually 62 is NOT the actual retirement age for the majority of us here in France. The system is different than the US. You have to put in 42 full working years (higher than any other country) to get full benefits and most do not start working at 20. Anyone with a normal job with the education to get that job will have to work until 65 or 67 to get full retirement. So '62' is a propaganda myth. The 62 is for people who work brutally hard labor jobs that start young at 18 or 20 (and have a life expectancy of 8 years below the average) bc it does so much damage to the body that it's no longer physically possible beyond 62. Also salaries are much lower in comparison with the US so the payout for those hard labor job are often unliveable. As a women you also get punished by the system for taking time off to have kids, so a big issue. They get the lowest payouts because they often work less to take care of kids on Wednesdays when there is no school. Many women of the previous generations who no longer have their husbands are 'retired' in poverty and work in their 70's for extra money. The French are very informed about actual policy and that's why 70 percent are against what Marcon has done and the way he did it. The majority are not against reforms, but the idea the pension system can't be funded by taxes on the big corporations and the richest is something Macron won't consider. They value democracy and solidarity and are NOT against reforming the retrirement system, they would rather willingly pay higher social security tax to fund it. Macron will hear NOTHING but what he wants to do, that's the issue and he did it in a way that is dangerous for democracy with not one single vote in Parliament. That's why you see young students joining the protests in large numbers. Please don't swallow the BS the media shovels.

The china's attitude towards russia does not have to be the way europe wants it to be Europe' s attitude towards russia does not have to be the way china wants it to be . Its my way or the highway .

First of all, the Chinese ambassador's comment in essence said that there was and is no explicit agreements ratifying the sovereignty of those former Soviet states. That is a statement of fact. The emphasis here is on documentary agreement; so the ambassador's observation was absolutely factual and correct. These countries were simply recognised (by precedence rather than by documentary agreement) by global institutions, including the UN, as sovereign states. And on sovereignty, the ambassador had at an earlier point of the TV interview recognised and stated that they ARE independent countries. So the whole hoolabaloo was much ado about nothing, arising out of a few western mainstream media's initial egregious attempts to spin the ambassador's words out of context and subsequent media organisations to just cut and paste without taking the trouble to parse and analyse those words in context. Disgraceful, farcical and childish of these media organisations.

Europe has lost its place in the world stage a long time ago. Its so confused it talks in terms of aligning itself to other countries as opposed to determining its own independent views.

If you say Taiwan question is an international issue when it is certainly not. Why can't someone say that there wasn't treaty to confirm the borders and status of the ex-Soviet nations? Why didn't Poland say anything? The west Ukraine is just too tasty, isn't it?

Why is this even controversial in France? Are there many Frenchs who want to be a US vessel?

Macron is right in this issue.

today having many technologies, such as space shuttles too, maybe one way ticket to Mars. Anyways, we all kind of feeling same thing where choosing not America nor China and would be better in that way so

I'm so glad Lu Shaye left Canada. He was despised by all. My sympathies to the French.

so they could do anything but eating forbidden apple. It is so sad and upset creating the nuke crisis and maybe today the environmental issues would be considered too. If in anyways doing such a thing, we dont know what they have as the result for doing those things so ruining our planet

Japan having the ideal of the Article 9th and I think it is so colonization if done anything with it. America and China

No, he is not isolated. Just today a pole member of government complained half europe wants to improve relations with russia.

NO

So if demanding not to be a vassal means "isolated" does that mean the rest of the EU want to be vassals??? He didn't demand to be an opponent but only to keep sovereignty

Germany is a defeated country still under the occupation of the American military.

6:20 Love his rabbit ears. They are very fitting.

The Vassal state comment seems to really bother France, Germany and UK. May be because it's True. To be an enemy of US is dangerous but to be a friend is absolutely fatal, Germany learned it first hand.

No, he is not isolated, he has millions and millions of europeans thinking the same.

Last time I heard value based foreign policy was during the culture revolution of the Mao’s era. Pretty sad that EU is now repeating the same strategy to its own people nowadays.

Well the sad thing is communists having culture revolution in stead of nationalists. And most of the democratic world actually have started going nationalist route so it's the other way around

Finding his backbone

French use to be not vessel but rescue vessel of US during WW2, if France did not become vessel of US the history would be different today

So if the Chinese are happy with what Macron said, he did nothing wrong. - Diplomacy is the art of saying what the other side wants to hear! - I'm sure Macron Xi said that Europe would suffer badly from a US-China war over Taiwan; I don't think he betrayed European interests.

But Macron is saying the TRUTH!

"Unconditional love" can go both ways. It could reap rewards, and plenty of it, if and when the recipient of your "Unconditional love" reciprocate. On the other hand, it could potentially invite abuse of your loyalty and trust. Allow me to use a domestic situation to explain what I am talking about. In a relationship, it has the potential to evolve into an abusive one if one of the partners submits way too much to the counterpart. Sadly, in most of the cases, it is the females who ended up the victim because somehow females are more inclined to fall for this thing called "LOVE". In an abusive relationship, it started with one of them giving away her autonomy, and allows him to make decisions for her. As time progresses, it becomes a "given" that she would allow him to dictate how she live, how she behave, and who can she be friends with. In simple terms, she is now a "VASSAL" to him. Now try to superimpose what I elaborated with the relationship between the EU and America, and the many "like-minded" buddies of America and America. America hold onto the EU and like-minded buddies via defence. In Europe, it is the NATO. In the Asian region, there is the ANZUS (Australia-New_Zeaalnd_America) pact, and the newly formed ones such as AUKUS (Australia-US), and QUAD (India-Australia-Japan-US). The US promises comprehensive protection in exchange for those like-minded buddies to tag along and agree with US's foreign policies. What President Macron articulated was that while a close relationship between EU and US is valuable, but the EU, being an autonomous and independent bloc, should just become a Remora fish attached to the US. In case commentators have forgotten the initial vision/objective of the formation of the EU, was to be a credible bloc rivaling the US. It is meant to be a bloc which makes own foreign policies, economic decisions, and to decide who it can be friends with. It is rather interesting that the Greens Party being a supposedly "leftist" inclined, become a vassal to the US, a full-blown capitalistic country. Perhaps the Greens Party got hoodwinked by the "democracy and human rights" credential which America is never slow to bag about. If my memory serves me right, the US used WMD as a guise to invade Iraq, and supposed to deliver on democracy and human right to those savages.

Poor France, getting even deeper into Stupidity Lake. Am never surprised at the French. Those lovely daes of summer 1940 and what happened has forever set the standard for what France is.

As long as NATO exist, EU are just a imaginary thing…they play bad cop good cop in Ukraine conflict but when it ended i wonder which one will survive.

I get the feeling Macron is going to be ousted from his government fairly shortly.

@Vintage Costume Gems Don't forget Xi Jin-Ping. Macron wants to be his biatch.

Dont we think America is way too much giving China credits today and why is that? Although, it is so dangerous today having the war creating the nuke crisis but if you are anyway thinking those countries are different thing maybe that is so a problem

Jealous huh Japanese are underrated in politics nowadays Japan economy is also going to get overtaken by India soon and Indonesia

Other than ego, its hard to understand the point of macron's comments

He is just saying in “monarchic” words… 😅

If you cannot be responsible for this planet, maybe it is not your place anywhere. Like anywhere in this planet

I wish Europe could defend itself too but dreaming won't help the situation or Eastern Europe

When the EU formed its economy was larger than the US. Look at it now.

Why are they in NATO then? Wait, why did they leave NATO and then return? Wait, wait, why did the US have to bail France out during WW2? 😂

A French leader ? Does it exist ?

And this people are the smartest that EU can offers?

Interestingly, the German Green Party MEP speaks with American accented English.
