WASHINGTON/BEIJING: US President-elect Donald Trump spoke by phone with President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, the first such contact between the two sides in nearly four decades, but China dismissed the call as a 鈥減etty action鈥� by the self-ruled island it claims as its own.
The 10-minute telephone call with Taiwan鈥檚 leadership was the first by a US president-elect or president since President Jimmy Carter switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China in 1979, acknowledging Taiwan as part of 鈥渙ne China.鈥�
Hours after Friday鈥檚 call, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi blamed Taiwan for the exchange, avoiding what could have been a major rift with Washington just before Trump assumes the presidency.
鈥淭his is just the Taiwan side engaging in a petty action, and cannot change the 鈥榦ne China鈥� structure already formed by the international community,鈥� Wang said at an academic forum in Beijing, state media reported.
鈥淚 believe that it won鈥檛 change the longstanding 鈥榦ne China鈥� policy of the United States government.鈥�
In comments at the same forum, Wang noted how quickly President Xi Jinping and Trump had spoken by telephone after Trump鈥檚 victory, and that Trump had praised China as a great country.
Wang said the exchange sent 鈥渁 very positive signal about the future development of Sino-US relations,鈥� according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry鈥檚 website. Taiwan was not mentioned in that call, according to an official Chinese transcript.
Trump said on Twitter that Tsai had initiated the call he had with the Taiwan president. 鈥淭he President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!鈥� he said.
Alex Huang, a spokesman for Tsai, said: 鈥淥f course both sides agreed ahead of time before making contact.鈥�
Trump and Tsai noted that 鈥渃lose economic, political and security ties exist between Taiwan and the United States,鈥� the Trump transition team said in a statement. Taiwan鈥檚 presidential office said the two discussed strengthening bilateral interactions and establishing closer cooperation.
Later on Saturday, Taiwan鈥檚 policy making body on China said Beijing must look at the call 鈥渃almly.鈥�
鈥淲e call on China to face the new situation in the Asia-Pacific region and work with us toward developing a benign cross-strait relationship,鈥� the Mainland Affairs Council said in a statement, referring to the stretch of water between the two sides.
China considers Taiwan a wayward province and has never renounced the use of force to bring it under its control. Relations between the two sides have worsened since Tsai, who heads the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, was elected president in January.
China鈥檚 influential state-run tabloid the Global Times said in an online editorial that if Trump really overturned the 鈥渙ne China鈥� principle upon assuming office it would create such a crisis with China he鈥檇 have little time to do anything else.
鈥淲e believe this is not something the shrewd Trump wants to do.鈥�

ARMS SUPPLIER
Washington remains Taiwan鈥檚 most important political ally and sole arms supplier, despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties, the irony of which was not lost on Trump.
鈥淚nteresting how the US sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call,鈥� Trump said in another tweet.
Trump has eschewed tradition in other calls with foreign leaders since he won the US election, prompting the White House to encourage him to make use of the diplomatic expertise and counsel of the State Department.
The White House said after Trump鈥檚 call that 鈥渓ongstanding policy鈥� on China and Taiwan had not changed.
鈥淲e remain firmly committed to our 鈥榦ne China鈥� policy,鈥� said Ned Price, a national security spokesman for President Barack Obama. 鈥淥ur fundamental interest is in peaceful and stable cross-Strait relations.鈥�
Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on CNN that Trump was 鈥渨ell aware of what US policy has been鈥� on Taiwan.
Administration officials said Trump鈥檚 team did not alert the White House about the call ahead of time.
Advisers to the Republican president-elect have indicated that he is likely to take a more robust policy toward China than Obama, a Democrat, and that Trump plans to boost the US military in part in response to China鈥檚 increasing power in Asia. However, details of his plans remain scant.
Trump lambasted China throughout the US election campaign, drumming up headlines with pledges to slap 45 percent tariffs on imported Chinese goods and label the country a currency manipulator on his first day in office.
Earlier this week, Trump spoke to Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and praised him, according to the Pakistani leader鈥檚 office, as a 鈥渢errific guy.鈥�
Islamabad and Washington have seen relations sour in recent years over US accusations that Pakistan shelters Islamist militants who kill US soldiers in Afghanistan, a charge denied by the South Asian nation.
Trump also invited Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte to the White House next year during what a Duterte aide said was a 鈥渧ery engaging, animated鈥� phone conversation. Duterte has openly insulted Obama, who canceled a planned meeting with him in September.
A statement issued by Trump鈥檚 transition team made no mention of the invitation.
