- New York Times reports: "When President-elect Donald J. Trump spoke on the phone with Taiwan's president on Friday, he was wading into one of Asia's longest-running and sensitive issues: the dispute between Taiwan and mainland China...The disagreement dates to 1927, when civil war broke out in the Republic of China. The war culminated in Communist revolutionaries, led by Mao Zedong, mostly defeating China's Nationalist government in 1949...Since then, no American president or president-elect is believed to have spoken with a Taiwanese president — until the phone call on Friday."
- Reuters reports: "Iran's nuclear deal with six major powers should continue regardless of changes in the internal situation of participant nations, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Iran's visiting foreign minister during a meeting in Beijing on Monday..."We will not let any country infringe the agreement unilaterally," he added. "But if they do, Iran has its own options."...Iran has said it seeks to expand economic and security ties with China, following a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping in January. Tension between Iran and the United States over the accord had already risen before the election, after the U.S. Senate voted a ten-year extension of the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA). Iran vowed to retaliate."
- Los Angeles Times reports: "Remember when China was the climate-action outcast, the obstacle standing in the way of progress in the global fight against a warming planet? What a difference a few years — and an election — can make...During the Marrakech talks, the official Xinhua News agency stated, "China is playing an active role in negotiation and global governance on climate change. Self-motivated and willing to work with others to save the planet, China has taken steps, including billions of dollars of investment, to tackle climate change and provide new-energy technology."...As 2017 approaches, China is poised to assume global leadership on climate change, and the U.S. is poised to become the new climate-action outcast."
