US President Donald Trump has agreed to honor the so-called “One China” policy in a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Quoting the White House, BBC reports the matter on Friday (February 10).

The One China policy is the diplomatic acknowledgment that there is only one Chinese government.

Trump had placed the long-standing policy in doubt when he spoke with Taiwan’s president in December.

The move was a major break from traditional protocol and provoked an official complaint from China.

The telephone conversation was the first between the two since Trump took office on January 20, though the new US president has called several other national leaders.
