China urges U.S. to be careful on Taiwan

On Thursday, China has reminded America that proper handling of the "Taiwan issue" is key to good relations between Beijing and the United States. China wants newly elected president Barack Obama to stop selling weapons to Taiwan. 

Obama supports arms sales to Taiwan and this may be a source of future friction between America and China. In recent years, Taiwan's status has been the biggest issue regarding American-Chinese relations. China's position on the matter remains the same. The idea of one-China still is the prevailing thought. Obama wants both sides to peacefully settle their differences but in the future, something will have to give.
