Beijing Hopes Trump to Follow 'One China' Policy Regarding Taiwan
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Trump spoke with Tsai on the phone on Friday, in a move that broke with the White House’s four-decade-long policy on what Beijing considers its breakaway province.

President Tsai Ing-wen’s phone call with Donald Trump was simply "a little trick" of Taiwan, the Chinese foreign policy chief was quoted as saying by the state news agency Xinhua.

Trump emphasized in a tweet the talks were not his initiative. He said President Tsai congratulated him on his November 8 victory.

​The United States sticks officially to a "One China" position but has kept informal relations with the island east of the Chinese mainland after severing diplomatic ties with it in 1979.
