China’s Foreign Ministery urged the new US administration to adhere to the “one China” policy when dealing with Taiwan in a statement made on Monday.
Speaking at a regular press briefing in Bejing, China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, said,
“We urge the new administration to fully understand the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue and to continue pursuing the one China policy.”
The spokeswoman stressed that the policy was the “political foundation” of future relations between the United States and China, reports Reuters.
The Spokeswoman added that the US government had the obligation to stand by promises made by both main US political parties and “strictly” maintain non-diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
The statement came after Trump broke diplomatic norms by calling the Tainwanese president directly whilst he was the president elect.
