The diplomatic storm caused by Yang Jiechi’s rebuke of the U.S. in Alaska for being “unqualified” to speak condescendingly to China has not yet subsided, and the Chinese ambassador to France has caused shock in the French court for insulting a French scholar.
After China’s ambassador to France, Lu Shano, sent a letter to the French Senate in February asking it to cancel its delegation to Taiwan, which was rejected, leading French scholar and China expert FRS researcher Bondaz tweeted on March 16 that Lu’s letter was an interference in French democracy and that Beijing had no right to tell France’s elected officials what to do, let alone a diplomat. let alone a diplomat.
The Chinese Embassy in France reacted on March 19, also tweeting against Bondazi by name, calling him a “hooligan”. After the news broke, French newspaper Le Monde reported that it was a replay of war-wolf diplomacy, with no regard for minimum diplomatic dignity and etiquette. French public opinion was in a state of denunciation, with French European parliamentarians unanimously supporting Bondaz and demanding that the French Foreign Ministry summon Roussano to issue a warning.
Professor Bai Xia, a China expert at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris, analyzed that the reason for Ambassador Roussano’s attack on Bondaz may be related to his newly opened research project on Taiwan.
Popular support for Bondazzi is also expanding rapidly. A number of Twitter accounts have used the logo “We are all hooligans” to express their opposition to the Chinese ambassador to France. One user tweeted that the Chinese ambassador was behaving like some diplomats under the Third Reich or Stalin.
