 | Subject: Sick as shit: Trump changes tack, backs 'one China' policy in call with Xi Fri Feb 10, 2017 7:39 pm | |
| U.S. President Donald Trump changed tack and agreed to honor the "one China" policy during a phone call with China's leader Xi Jinping, a major diplomatic boost for Beijing which brooks no criticism of its claim to self-ruled Taiwan.

Trump angered Beijing in December by talking to the president of Taiwan and saying the United States did not have to stick to the policy, under which Washington acknowledges the Chinese position that there is only one China and Taiwan is part of it.
A White House statement said Trump and Chinese President Xi had a lengthy phone conversation on Thursday night, Washington time.
"President Trump agreed, at the request of President Xi, to honor our 'one China' policy," the statement said.
