In a statement made by President-elect Donald Trump, United States can change its long-standing position of considering Taiwan as a part of China. He questioned the four decades old policy of China and whether the US should continue the policy.

Trump made these comments on Fox News Sunday after he had prompted a protest from China after he accepted a call from Taiwan's president on 2^nd December. Trump said that if he hadn't taken that call it would have been disrespectful. The president had called just to congratulate him on his win.

"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.

However, China hasn't responded officially to these statements made by Trump in an interview with Fox News.

According to PTI, the state-run global Times quotes the Chinese analyst saying that Trump should understand the complexity of Sino-US ties and stop being manipulated by some other forces.

"We're being hurt very badly by China with devaluation, with taxing us heavy at the borders when we don't tax them, with building a massive fortress in the middle of the South China Sea, which they shouldn't be doing, and frankly with not helping us at all with North Korea," Trump said.

Trump said that China is not cooperating with the US on its currency, North Korea, or in the disputed South China issue. He said that China is building a massive fortress.

Professor at China Foreign Affairs University, Li Haidong, said, "Trump's knowledge about Sino-US relations, particularly the Taiwan question, is very superficial, which gives him the nerve to say whatever he likes. As a businessman, he thinks it is quite normal to do business, but he has not realized that the Taiwan question is not a business to China. The Taiwan question is not negotiable
