U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States did not necessarily have to stick to its long-standing position that Taiwan is part of "one China".
"I fully understand the 'one China' policy, but I don't know why we have to be bound by a 'one China' policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade," Trump told Fox News.
The comments come after Trump's call with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, which angered China.
