川普尊重“一箇中國”政策

U.S. President Donald Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping in a telephone conversation that the U.S. intends to honor the "One China" policy by acknowledging China's position it has sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan.

The White House said the phone call between the two world leaders Thursday evening was "extremely cordial" and both presidents "extended invitations" to meet in their respective countries.

Trump was criticized for a phone conversation he had with Taiwan's president after Trump won the presidential election in November.

No U.S. president or president-elect has had such contact with a Taiwanese leader since Washington broke formal ties with Taiwan in 1979 and switched to the larger, fast-growing China. But Washington has remained a staunch informal supporter of Taiwan since then.

In the 1979 U.S.-China Joint Communique, the U.S. recognized Beijing as the sole legal government of China, acknowledging the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China.

Chinese state media said Trump's "inexperience" led him to accept the call from the Taiwanese president, but warned that breaching the one-China policy would "destroy" relations between Washington and Beijing.

Trump seemed bemused by the reaction to the call, saying on his Twitter account, "Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call."

Over China's objections, then president Barack Obama a year ago authorized a $1.83 billion sale of defensive weapons to Taiwan, including two frigates, amphibious assault vehicles, and anti-aircraft and anti-ship systems.美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平在電話談話中表示，美國承認中國對自治的臺灣擁有主權的立場，尊重“一箇中國”政策。

白宮說，兩國領導人星期四晚上的電話“非常親切”，兩位領導人都“邀請”對方來自己的國家會面。

川普曾因去年十一月當選後與臺灣總統蔡英文進行電話交談而受到批評。

自1979年華盛頓與臺灣正式斷交以來，美國總統或獲選總統都沒有與臺灣領導人接觸，轉而與更大、發展迅速的中國交往。但自那以後，美國一直是臺灣的堅定非正式支持者。

在1979年的“中美聯合公報”中，美國承認北京是中國的唯一合法政府，承認中國的立場，就是隻有一箇中國，臺灣是中國的一部分。

中國國家媒體說，川普的“經驗不足”導致他接受臺灣總統的電話，但警告說，違反一箇中國政策將“破壞”華盛頓和北京之間的關係。

川普似乎對他與蔡英文的電話交談導致的反應感到困惑。他在推特上發文說，“有趣的是，美國可以賣給臺灣數十億美元的軍事裝備，但我卻不應該接受一個賀電。”

美國前總統奧巴馬一年前批准向臺灣出售18.3億美元的防禦性武器，包括兩艘護衛艦、兩棲攻擊車以及防空和反艦系統。
