This “Mr. Trump” I keep hearing about is a private citizen. He can call and take calls from anyone he damn well pleases for any reason he damn well pleases.

Taiwan are the true nation of China.

They see mainland China as the renegade province.

Isn’t it hilarious

It more so demonstrates the Chinese need for adult supervision. No matter who called who, when all is said done, some dog f*rt Chinese official had a junior-high school level temper tantrum.

Isn’t Trump said to receive the Dali Lama sometime soon?

I hadn’t heard that. I’m sure he won’t shuttle the DL in and out the back door past piles of garbage if he does meet with him.

No nation should be able to tell the USA who or who not we can speak. That is juvenile and demeaning, and any US diplomat allowing it to happen needs to be removed. This is a great nation and must act as such.

The path to peace is having great power of military, economy and strength of character. When we tell a nation to stand down, they will know to throw down their arms and go home to their wife and kids. Every aggressor respects strength, and that must be the US.

It will be very interesting to see Trump put the pieces of the puzzle together.Things are shaping up nicely. With Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, The Philippines,who’ll be next? Don’t you
just love puzzles?

I’m sureI saw something in the last day or two....maybe here on FR...not sure, about Trump meeting with the Dali Lama next year. Of course “next year” is just around the corner and Tibet is perhaps a key to something, after all.

Oh, piff. If they in fact lodged a protest it was due to being shamed by the NYT.

Trump to China - “I’m the new guy, the one that doesn’t bow to other nations and who won’t be dictated to by tyrants. Let’s talk about how you been screwing things up and figure out how to get you in line.”
