SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - China on Thursday rejected comments by Salvadoran President-elect Nayib Bukele, who accused the Asian power of not playing by the rules and intervening in other nations' affairs.

Bukele, a political outsider who was elected in February as the Central American nation's next president, has questioned whether El Salvador should maintain diplomatic relations with China.
