China lodges complaint over Trump-Taiwan call



Updated 7:05 AM ET, Sat December 3, 2016



(CNN)China's foreign ministry said Saturday it has lodged a complaint with the United States over a controversial phone call between President-elect Donald Trump and Taiwan's President that has overturned decades of diplomatic protocol.

China views Taiwan as a renegade province and, since 1979, the US has acknowledged Beijing's claim that Taiwan is part of China, with US-China relations governed by a set of protocols known as the 'one China' policy.

This means there are no formal diplomatic relations between the United States and Taiwan -- so Trump's decision to take Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's call could risk a major upset.

"We have noticed relevant reports and lodged solemn representation with the relevant side in the United States," said a statement Saturday from China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang.

"I must point out that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inseparable part of the Chinese territory ... The 'one China' principle is the political foundation of China-US relations.


"We urge the relevant side in the US to adhere to the 'one China' policy, abide by the pledges in the three joint China-US communiques, and handle issues related to Taiwan carefully and properly to avoid causing unnecessary interference to the overall China-U.S. relationship."

Earlier Saturday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi labeled the phone call "a shenanigan by the Taiwan side" when he was asked about it on the sidelines of a foreign policy seminar.

"The 'one China' policy is the cornerstone of a healthy China-U.S. relationship. I hope this political foundation won't be disrupted or damaged," he said.

Trump's transition team said Friday that the President-elect had chatted with Tsai, who passed along her congratulations.

"During the discussion, they noted the close economic, political, and security ties (existing) between Taiwan and the United States. President-elect Trump also congratulated President Tsai on becoming President of Taiwan earlier this year."

The chat marks the first publicly reported call between a US President or President-elect and the leader of Taiwan since Washington established diplomatic relations with Beijing in 1979, said Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

It is perhaps the first major sign of the unpredictability that Trump has vowed to bring to long-held US relations with the rest of the world.

The call, first reported by the Financial Times, risks throwing US-China relations into a tailspin before Trump takes the oath of office on January 20.

And it has prompted questions over whether Trump intends a shift in US policy, or if this was a blunder by a team with limited experience of international affairs.

Trump on Friday night emphasized that Taipei initiated the call.

"The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!" tweeted the President-elect.

He soon followed up by tweeting, "Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call."

Taiwan's President on Friday night published a statement about the phone call on an official website, which she described as an "intimate and relaxed conversation" lasting 10 minutes.

The two also shared their views on important policy points, the statement said, according to a translation, "in particular, to promote the domestic economy and strengthen national defense, allowing the people better lives and a guarantee of security. The two briefly exchanged opinions on the situation in the Asia region."

Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "AC360" that she wouldn't go beyond what the transition team statement said. But the President-elect was fully aware of the call's implications, Conway suggested.

"He either will disclose or not disclose the full contents of that conversation but he's well aware of what US policy has been," Conway said.

By Friday night, China had already reached out to the Obama administration. White House officials declined to comment on diplomatic discussions.

Ned Price, a spokesman for the US National Security Council, said "there is no change to our longstanding policy on cross-Strait issues."

"We remain firmly committed to our 'one China' policy based on the three Joint Communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act," he said. "Our fundamental interest is in peaceful and stable cross-Strait relations."

A different Obama administration official said there was no contact with either the White House or State Department about the call beforehand.

Earlier, China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, downplayed the significance of the call between Taiwan's president and Mr Trump, saying it was "just a small trick by Taiwan" that he believed would not change US policy toward China, according to Hong Kong's Phoenix TV.

"The one-China policy is the cornerstone of the healthy development of China-US relations and we hope this political foundation will not be interfered with or damaged," Mr Wang was quoted as saying.

It is thought that no US president or president-elect has spoken with a leader of Taiwan for 37 years, after the US implemented a "One China" policy.

Hours after an unnamed Trump transition team official confirmed the conversation, the president-elect said on Twitter that Ms Tsai had called him.

"The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!" Mr Trump wrote.

An hour later, he again took to Twitter to respond to the reaction the call had generated. "Interesting how the US sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call."


The Trump transition team official said: "During the discussion, they noted the close economic, political, and security ties exists between Taiwan and the United States. President-elect Trump also congratulated President Tsai on becoming President of Taiwan earlier this year."

Another Trump spokesman said the president-elect was "well aware of what US policy has been" on Taiwan.


While Mr Trump insisted it was Mrs Tsai who called him, the Taipei Times, citing sources, said the call had been arranged by Mr Trump's "Taiwan-friendly campaign staff after his aides briefed him on issues regarding Taiwan and the situation in the Taiwan Strait".

The Taiwanese presidential office said early on Saturday that Mr Trump and Mrs Tsai had discussed establishing closer cooperation between the two countries.

President Barack Obama was reportedly not told about the call beforehand. In a statement on Friday evening, the White House reaffirmed the "One China" policy.

"There is no change to our longstanding policy on cross-Strait issues," Emily Horne, National Security spokeswoman, told AFP.

"We remain firmly committed to our 'one China' policy based on the three Joint Communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act. Our fundamental interest is in peaceful and stable cross-Strait relations."

Mrs Tsai has refused to accept the concept of "One China," prompting Beijing to cut off all official communication with the island's new government.

An official of the Taiwan's representative office in Washington could not confirm the call but said it would be "historic".

“The Chinese leadership will see this as a highly provocative action, of historic proportions," Evan Medeiros, former Asia director at the White House national security council, told the Financial Times.

“Regardless if it was deliberate or accidental, this phone call will fundamentally change China’s perceptions of Trump’s strategic intentions for the negative. With this kind of move, Trump is setting a foundation of enduring mistrust and strategic competition for US-China relations.”


The call happened on the same day that Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, met Henry Kissinger, the former US secretary of state, in Beijing to promote US-Chinese relations. Mr Kissinger brokered the US relationship with China in the early 1970s.

Bonnie Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said: “I would guess that President-elect Trump does not really comprehend how sensitive Beijing is about this issue.”

The call with Taiwan's leader is Mr Trump's latest foray into foreign policy that has caused controversy.

Earlier this week, Mr Trump risked angering India by apparently telling Nawaz Sharif, the Pakistani prime minister he would "love" to visit the country soon.

He described Pakistanis as "one of the most intelligent people", according to a Pakistani statement on the call.

On Friday, an aide to Philippines leader Rodrigo Duterte said on Friday the US president-elect had invited the Philippines leader to the White House next year during a "very engaging, animated" phone conversation.

Mr Duterte said he was told by Mr Trump that Manila was conducting its deadly drug war "the right way" - in stark contrast to the criticism he received from President Barack Obama. Around 4,800 people have been killed in the drugs crackdown since June.
