TAIPEI, Taiwan — The United States reiterated its longstanding commitment to Taiwan, following President Obama’s meeting with Xi Jinping in China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said on Sunday.

MOFA spokeswoman Eleanor Wang told The China Post that despite a statement released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry and reports made by China’s state-owned Xinhua News Agency , the U.S.’ stance on the cross-strait issue remains unaltered.

Mainland Chinese reports allege Obama had expressed the U.S.’ clear opposition to Taiwanese independence during the meeting.

But according to the MOFA spokeswoman, the U.S. remains committed to its “one China” policy, based on the Three Joint Communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act.     [FULL  STORY]
