They wish! More like a shot across the bow.
Chaing Kai Chek I think it was, a GOOD friend of Dwight D. Eisenhower would be very grateful. Taiwan and Quemoy in 1955 were kept safe by the strength of the U.S. position. Islands as large as Taiwan ought to be given the chance to decide their own destiny.
China’s behavior has negated the optimistic language of our last platform concerning our future relations with China. The liberalizing policies of recent decades have been abruptly reversed, dissent brutally crushed, religious persecution heightened, the internet crippled, a barbaric population control two-child policy of forced abortions and forced sterilizations continued, and the cult of Mao revived. Critics of the regime have been kidnapped by its agents in foreign countries. To distract the populace from its increasing economic problems and, more importantly, to expand its military might, the government asserts a preposterous claim to the entire South China Sea and continues to dredge ports and create landing fields in contested waters where none have existed before, ever nearer to U.S. territories and our allies, while building a navy far out of proportion to defensive purposes. The complacency of the Obama regime has emboldened the Chinese government and military to issue threats of intimidation throughout the South China Sea, not to mention parading their new missile, “the Guam Killer,” down the main streets of Beijing, a direct shot at Guam as America’s first line of defense. Meanwhile, cultural genocide continues in Tibet and Xinjiang, the promised autonomy of Hong Kong is eroded, the currency is manipulated, our technology is stolen, and intellectual property and copyrights are mocked in an economy based on piracy. In business terms, this is not competition; it is a hostile takeover. For any American company to abet those offenses, especially governmental censorship and tracking of dissenters, is a disgrace.
Perhaps it was a warning shotover thebow of the chineses ship. Maybe a message that the US won’t crawl on their bellies like the did under the leadership of the last Dude in Charge.
Recommended reading for the Chinese Trade Negotiating Team:
They’re just parroting the LSM
The economic traitors in Corporate America must be pissing in their pants at the thought of losing access to cheap Chinese labor.
“the billionaire’s lack of foreign policy experience”
When is the left (including foreign commies) gonna get it. That’s exactly why Trump was elected, he’s not an experience globalist. We don’t want them anymore. They’ve FU’d the whole planet. And luckily, some of the planets inhabitants are beginning to wake up, such as MAGA, Brexit, hopefully Italy, maybe France, possibly Germany.
Socialist end results such as found in Greece or Venezuela are just nothing to look up to.
what’s the part of the book relevant to what Trump (I think deliberately) did with Taiwan? Excerpt please!
All the media is obsessing over the call made by Taiwan to Trump. Preview of the next four years. Everything he does is going to be ripped apart.
These commie pukes need to realize that there is a new sheriff in town. Status quo died on election night.
No particular connection to Taiwan. But a big hint to the Chinese that they are going to face a tougher trade negotiator than the pushovers they have been dealing with over several decades.
A small shot across the bow by Trump.
The Chinese noticed.
Trump will teach them a great many things. Do you really think the President of Taiwan said oh I am just going to call him to say hi” knowing FULL WELL what they would be getting into??
This call was planned by Trump’s foreign policy people. Proof? Gov Huntsman, former ambassador to China defended Trump
So most likely, the Trump team told her to call and he answered it
exactly. Obama can do no wrong. Trump can do no right.
“Wow, the Chinese are almost as delusional as democrats.”
Yeah. It seems like that.
But it’s actually them backing down and saving face.
Yes. It’s known who in the a Trump team coordinated it.
I’m noticing almost all the articles I red about this fail to point out that Trump received the call, he didn’t make it...most seem to imply that he was the one who placed the call, and they make it sound like a political blunder by an incompetent beginner...
