Rubio says Taiwan should not be concerned about US-China talks

DOHA, Oct 25 (Reuters) – U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that Taiwan should not be concerned about upcoming U.S.-China trade talks in Malaysia. "I don't think you're going to see some trade deal where, if what people are worried about is we're going to get some trade deal or we're going to get favorable treatment on trade in exchange for walking away from Taiwan," Rubio told reporters traveling on his plane between Israel and Qatar en route to Asia. "No one is contemplating that." (Reporting by Simon Lewis and Timothy Gardner; Editing by Bill Berkrot)
