France's Macron criticises Chinese envoy for remarks on ex-Soviet states

French President Emmanuel Macron hits out at China's ambassador to Paris for remarks questioning the sovereignty of former Soviet states, insisting their borders are "inviolable". "I think it's not the place of a diplomat to use that kind of language," Macron tells journalists ahead of a summit on offshore wind in Ostend, Belgium.
