“Mr. Trump expressed no misgivings about taking the call from President Tsai Ing-wen, which was arranged beforehand. He bridled at suggestions that he had committed a faux pas, writing on Twitter on Friday evening that it was “interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.”

Trump has really stepped in it this time! It's all over for him now! Heh.

Of course China occupying a disputed island chain (region) and building a massive military base there doesn’t rattle a region.

The NYTs is over it’s head, grasping at anything so their world view will continue to make sense.

It doesn’t. It never will.

The NY Slimes’ editors and faux journalists are so Xenophobic about Trump when he does anything that isn’t liberal or GOPe.

"Now, though, in a single protocol-shattering phone call with the president of Taiwan, President-elect Donald J. Trump has thrust it back on the table. Not since President Richard M. Nixon met with Mao Zedong in 1972 — when the two issued the Shanghai Communiqué clarifying the status of Taiwan — has an American leader so shaken up the diplomatic status quo on the issue."

Boy, they are really in a tizzy about this, while the following was met with, Meh.....

"U.S. President Barack Obama met the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, at the White House on Wednesday despite a warning by China that it would damage diplomatic relations. The meeting came at a time of heightened tensions between the United States and China over Beijing’s assertive pursuit of territorial claims in East Asia.

Obama's fourth White House meeting with the Dalai Lama in the past eight years took place in the White House residence, instead of the Oval Office where the president normally meets world leaders."

Almost the EXACT same situation, but apparently Obama is a genius, and Trump is just a buffoon. This is sooooooo transparent.

there was something very very very very sicko in USA ‘protocol’ or policy if a simple phone chat with the ROC president upset anybody (other than maybe the Communist rulers on the mainland).

Dear NYT: relax. ROC is not an enemy dictatorship nor a terrorist gang (like so many of the phone calls or personal visits conducted by BHO have involved)

relax.

Art of the deal.

Leverage.

Put Taiwan on the table.

This is the United States of America.

Setting the negotiation table with China.

This is not difficult.

The MSM are not normal.

They are the trailer trash of the nation.

Surprise your foes, come at them from different directions. Never let them rest.

Exactly what the Zero doesn’t do.

The president or whatever of Taiwan called Trump. What was he going to do, be a total ass and not take the call?

As Trump supporter and Chinese American, I would like to see President of Taiwan visit Trump tower and Trump himself wait for her in the lobby and accompany her up elevator.

He can do it because trump tower is not us government site

That would be fun to watch

We should sell Taiwan anything they are willing to buy up to and including the F-35. And all the air/missile defense the island can host.

They are buying good subs from Japan, but they could use a few more.

It is a proper strategic counter to China’s claims over the whole of the South China Sea.
