Trump backs One China policy in first call with Xi
US president says he will abide by diplomatic formula agreed by
Beijing and Taipei
US President Donald Trump has told Chinese President Xi Jinping
that the White House will respect the “One China” policy, in a
move that will ease tensions between the powers, according to
two people familiar with the call.
In his first conversation with the Chinese leader since entering
the Oval Office, Mr Trump said he would abide by the diplomatic
formula that Beijing and Taipei agreed in 1992. The Chinese
communist party regards Taiwan as a renegade province.
The White House released a statement after the FT reported the
call between the two men, saying that Mr Trump had agreed “at
the request of President Xi” to honour the "one China" policy.
“The phone call between President Trump and President Xi was
extremely cordial, and both leaders extended best wishes to the
people of each other's countries. They also extended invitations
to meet in their respective countries," the White House said.
Mr Trump had angered China in December by speaking to Tsai Ing-wen,
the Taiwanese prime minister, in what was the first conservation
between a US president or president-elect and a Taiwanese leader
since Washington and Beijing established diplomatic relations in
1979.
The phone call - on Thursday evening Washington time - came one
day before Mr Trump will welcome Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime
minister, to the White House. The decision to speak to Mr Xi on
the eve of the Trump-Abe summit was designed to reduce the
fallout from the lavish welcome planned for the Japanese leader.
Mr Abe will dine with Mr Trump four times, fly on Air Force One
to the president’s resort in Florida, and play golf with his US
counterpart.
“The significance of this phone call prior to the visit of Prime
Minister Abe cannot be overstated,” said Dennis Wilder, a former
top China analyst at the CIA: “The Chinese had sought reassurance
that President Trump did not intend to overturn a fundamental
principle underpinning US-China relations and Northeast Asian
geostrategic stability for the past four decades--the one China
policy.”
Mr Wilder added: “By reasserting the commitment to the one China
policy, President Trump opens the ground for a constructive dialogue
with Beijing on the difficult but resolvable issues of rebalancing
the trading relationship that has tilted in Beijing’s favour.”
Beijing will welcome Mr Trump’s decision to back the “One China”
policy, which has been the central principle governing relations
between China and Taiwan.
Mr Trump also angered China in December by suggesting after his call
with Ms Tsai that he would only support the “One China” policy
if China agreed to do some kind of deal on trade with the US.
The conservation between the US and Chinese leaders came just hours
after a White House meeting between Mr Trump and Rex Tillerson,
his new secretary of state. Two people familiar with the thinking
of Mr Tillerson, a former chief executive of Exxon Mobil, said he
wanted Mr Trump to back the “One China” policy.
“It's a wise move that sets the basis for Trump and Xi to address
the myriad challenges on the US-China agenda. It signals to China
that Trump is willing to learn,” said Evan Medeiros, a former top
Asia adviser to Barack Obama who is now at Eurasia Group. “Now the
rest of Asia is asking: how will Trump deal with China on trade,
[the] South China Sea and North Korea. Presidential conversations
are the major muscle movement in this relationship and hold the
greatest prospect for managing these tough
issues. “
Beijing has been concerned about Sino-US relations since Mr Trump
started lambasting China during the presidential campaign. But
Communist party officials were alarmed when Mr Trump created tension
beyond the two powers’ economic relationship by suggesting that
his administration would take a different stance on Taiwan.
In his confirmation hearing, Mr Tillerson also angered Beijing by
suggesting that the US might try to block Chinese ships from
accessing disputed islands in the South China Sea where China has
been constructing runways and other facilities that have potential
military use. But James Mattis, US defence secretary, appeared to
ratchet down the rhetoric during a visit to Japan last week where
he suggested that the US military should not take any dramatic
moves in the dispute maritime region.
