Beijing calls on Obama to oppose Taiwan independence

What is this article about?

China on Thursday urged U.S. new president---Barack Obama to oppose Taiwan independence. Saying that the proper handing of the issue was key to good relations between Beijing and Washington.

"We urge the United States  to honor its commitment..... honor the one-China policy and stop selling weapons to Taiwan," foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said when asked to comment on U.S.-China relations after Obama's election win. The "one-China principle" states that there's only one China which includes China mainland and Taiwan. The two split at the end of a conflict in 1949. The "three communiques" lay out of the ground rules between Beijing and Washington. One of the main communiques us that U.S. not to officially recognize Taiwan. Beijing wants Washington to oppose Taiwan independence by not selling the weapons to Taiwan.

What is its significance?

This article gave really important meaning especially after Chan Yenlin came to Taiwan. This article shows that China still isn't friendly to Taiwan. I would really want to know what China really thinks about Taiwan and what will people think about this after this news been posted on the site.

Can you detect any bias?

I think that there's alway a lot of bias when the topic is somehow related to China and Taiwan. People think different about the relationship between Taiwan and China.  I think that this article is more to the side of China, the "one-China principle" is one of the example. In Taiwan we don't think that there's only one China, we believe that Taiwan and China is separate or keep this kind of relationship (kind of like "cold war"?!).
