    The 'Macron Doctrine' goes to Asia: Autonomy with partners, steady on
    China
    The French president calls for a 'third way' in the Indo-Pacific

    He presented a vision that he has consistently held since taking office
    in 2017 rCo restoring France and Europe's global influence and relevance
    amid the great power competition through rCLstrategic autonomyrCY rCo a term
    he repeated more than 10 times in his speech. This ambition, termed by
    some analysts as the "Macron Doctrine," is based on a sense of deep
    crisis since the establishment of the post-1945 world order.

    In Singapore, he has anchored his vision in both the Gaullist legacy and
    Asian strategic culture. He recalled Gen. de Gaulle's historic 1966
    speech in Phnom Penh, where the general championed the independence of
    nations, particularly Cambodia, within the Cold War context.
