Pierre Haski does not have anything nice to say about Emmanuel Macron’s trip to China last month. The former China correspondent should know: As one of the few French journalists on the president’s plane, he witnessed Macron’s comments on Taiwan, which not only embarrassed the EU but also the USA and the Taiwanese. In an interview with Amelie Richter, Haski provides further insights into the trip’s behind-the-scenes. Macron’s political worldview and his clumsy handling of China become somewhat clearer as a result.
