Trump Caves on One China Policy
https://politicalwire.com/2017/02/10/trump-now-says-hell-support-one-china-policy/Trump Caves on ‘One China’ Policy
February 10, 2017
By Taegan Goddard
President Trump told President Xi Jinping of China “that the United States would honor the ‘One China’ policy, reversing his earlier expressions of doubt about the longtime diplomatic understanding and removing a major source of tension between the United States and China since shortly after he was elected,” the New York Times reports.
“The concession was clearly designed to put an end to an extended chill in the relationship between China and the United States. Mr. Xi, stung by Mr. Trump’s unorthodox telephone call with the president of Taiwan in December and his subsequent assertion that the United States might no longer abide by the One China policy, had not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov. 14, the week after he was elected.”
