Taiwan rejects Thai-China statement, says it undermines its sovereignty

10 Sept 23:34 Key points summarised by AI

Taiwan's Foreign Affairs Ministry rejected a joint statement from Thailand and China, asserting it undermines Taiwan's sovereignty by endorsing Beijing's 'One-China policy' and claims over Taiwan.
The ministry reiterated Taiwan's status as a sovereign and independent country, not subordinate to China, and accused Beijing of using international platforms to spread false claims and alter the cross-strait status quo.
Taiwan urged Thailand to value their long-standing relationship, cease supporting Chinese pressure, and warned that Beijing's expansionist actions threaten regional peace and could affect countries accommodating its demands.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
