"America has always been a champion of democratic values and individual freedoms, and I applaud the President-elect for making a strong statement in support of those values around the world," Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Arizona, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, told The Hill in a statement about Friday's phone call.

A clear signal that Trump is not going to let the US be rolled over any more.

I am so looking forward to the day when the only thing I see a 'Made in China' label on is a box of Chow mein.

Nah, we can make that too.

Screw 'em.

Yes, Dennis. This winning is getting real enjoyable. And to have a congressman who has the backbone and the stones, and the understanding to realize greatness when he sees it; and compliment PE Trump about it. That’s the cherry on top.

Let me see if I understand. Palestine is a real country but Taiwan isn’t. Is that it?

China had to launch a complaint after ALL OF THE COMMIE MEDIA WENT BALLISTIC OVER A DAMN PHONE CALL! China is just taking their cue from their clones in America.

Yes! And it’s time we STOPPED letting the RAT media get away with their totally bogus Red/Blue bullchit, where the Red areas are for the freedom-oriented Right and the Blue areas are for the commie-oriented Left. That the Republicans have allowed that crap to go on for so long and that they have willingly played along with it all just proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that they’re truly the Stupid Party.

I’m glad Trump had a dialogue with the Taiwanese. I’m sick and tired of our leaders kowtowing to the Chinese on everything. Long overdue!!!
