Taiwan dismisses 'petty' concerns of China over US inaugural
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chuying on Friday called the Taiwanese presence at the inauguration a "publicity stunt, which aims to undermine and disrupt the China-US relationship."
[...] he said Taiwan would like a free trade agreement and investment treaty with the U.S.; its support in participating in international organizations like Interpol, currently blocked by China; and stronger defense capabilities to ensure stability in the Asia-Pacific.
Speaking through an interpreter, Yu said the peaceful transfer of power in the U.S. and the fact that Trump's election rival Hillary Clinton attended Friday's ceremony offered a lesson for Taiwan's young democracy.
