US urged to adhere to policy of one China

Beijing is urging Washington to abide by the one-China principle and carefully handle Taiwan-related issues when president-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, a spokesman on Taiwan affairs said on Wednesday.

Taiwan is one of the most important issues in Sino-US relations, said Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

"We hope the new government can abide by the one-China policy and the principle of the Three Joint Communiques and carefully deal with Taiwan issues," Ma said at a regular news conference.
