Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a warning to President Donald Trump on Thursday, cautioning that the United States should not interfere in China’s relations with Taiwan.
Xi warned Trump that failing to properly handle the issue could result in “an extremely dangerous situation,” according toThe Wall Street Journal.
The island of Taiwan, previously known as Formosa, was the refuge to which China’s nationalist government fled in 1949 after the Communist Revolution led by Mao Zedong took over mainland China.
Since that point, it has been self-governing, and while official U.S. policy says on paper that it does not have the diplomatic status of an independent country, U.S. military policy has been to shore up the island’s ability to defend itself.
Since he came to power in 2013, Xi has made the absorption of Taiwan a major policy issue.
Trump did not respond to questions concerning Xi’s comments to him about Taiwan.
