鈥楴ot exactly very clever鈥

FRANCE’S foreign minister accused US President-elect Donald Trump yesterday of showing a lack of respect toward China after comments calling into question the “One China” principle.

“China is a big country. We can have our differences with China, but you don’t talk to a partner like that,” Jean-Marc-Ayrault told France 2 television.

“When China feels questioned on its unity, that’s not exactly very clever,” Ayrault said.

“We need to avoid things spiralling out of control. So I hope that the new team will have learnt enough so that we manage an uncertain world with more sang-froid and responsibility.”
