US President-elect Donald Trump is clear about China's position on the Taiwan issue and China has maintained contacts with his team, the foreign ministry said on Monday, as Mr Trump took to Twitter to complain about Chinese economic and military policy.
Mr Trump's unusual call with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday prompted a diplomatic protest on Saturday, though US Vice-President-elect Mike Pence played down the telephone conversation, saying it was a "courtesy" call, not intended to show a shift in US policy on China.
