Taiwan condemned Chinese President Xi Jinping’s remarks to Donald Trump after Xi urged Washington to adopt the “correct position” of opposing Taiwanese independence. The wording appeared stronger than the long-standing U.S. formulation that Washington does not support independence, but the White House had not published a detailed account of the exchange. Taiwan said only its people could determine the island’s future through democracy. Beijing claims Taiwan as Chinese territory, a position rejected by Taipei.
