Beijing: 'One China' Principle Is Non-Negotiable

China’s foreign ministry said on Saturday that its « One China » principle was the non-negotiable political basis for China-U. S. relations, and urged « relevant parties » in the United States to recognize the sensitivity of the Taiwan issue.
The comments, posted on the foreign ministry’s website, were a direct response to remarks by U. S. President-elect Donald Trump in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in which he said the « One China » policy was negotiable.
Since 1979, the United States has acknowledged Taiwan as part of « one China », but Trump prompted a diplomatic protest from Beijing by accepting a congratulatory phone call on his election win from President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan on Dec. 2.
