Donald Trump’s protocol-breaking telephone call with Taiwan’s leader was an intentionally provocative move that establishes the incoming president as a break with the past, according to interviews with people involved in the planning.
The historic communication — the first between leaders of the United States and Taiwan since 1979 — was the product of months of quiet preparations and deliberations among Trump’s advisers about a new strategy for engagement with Taiwan that began even before he became the Republican presidential nominee, according to people involved in or briefed on the talks.
The call also reflects the views of hard-line advisers urging Trump to take a tough opening line with China, said others familiar with the months of discussion about Taiwan and China.

This is from the Washington Compost. Believe nothing they say.
I’m pretty sure the Post is trying to manipulate American foreign policy here.
Good, Taiwan has not killed about 80 million of it’s own citizens, china has. Nuking china makes more sense than talking with them.
I believe the article is correct. The call was planned and Trump announced it on Twitter for a reason. He’s always playing 4d chess and the libs are just too dumb to understand it.
It never made sense that the Taiwan President would cold call Trump Tower and say, may I speak with Donald?
Of course, it was planned.
No worries. There’s a reason why trump hired the anti-trust lawyer on his team just TO get back at bezos/WaCompost. Let them get their hits..
Nothing but more “fake news” by a paper that made itself irrelevant to all but delusional liberals who live on a diet of fabrications.
More unattributed fake news from the Alt-Left.
See? The Compost can have their cake and eat it too. Last week, they were calling this protocol breach incompetence on his part. And this week, they get to call him a dangerously unstable man. Something for every leftist, you see?
“I’m pretty sure the Post is trying to manipulate American foreign policy here.
“
Yeah, that’s why today Dick Cheney told them all that Trump didn’t need them any longer with the availability of social media like Twitter.

Statement by Hillary Clinton on Taiwan Election, March 25, 2008
I want to extend my congratulations to Ma Ying-jeou for his election as the new president of Taiwan. My congratulations extend to the people of Taiwan for their democratic achievements which have earned them the admiration of the entire international community. The people of Taiwan began direct competitive election of the president in 1996. Since then, the presidency has changed parties twice and voter turnout in this election was impressive, a clear indication of how robust this new democracy is. The friendship between the people of Taiwan and the United States has remained deep as democracy on Taiwan has strengthened.
I hope that under President-elect Ma's capable leadership, Taiwan's political institutions will thrive, and that ways can be found to appropriately expand Taiwan's contributions to the international community.
Given the statements of Mr. Ma during the campaign and those of the leaders of the People's Republic of China, I would hope that cross-Strait dialogue will be possible, and will contribute significantly to a reduction of tensions in the Taiwan Straits and East Asia. Meanwhile, I want to reaffirm my commitment to the longstanding relevant principles of American policy, including the Three Communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act.

Ya think? The press thinks they are the ones calling all the shots, not reporting them.
The left is worried about this because so many left wingers make their money in China. Think Apple.
All lies. Without even reading it.
seriously, screw the uppity communist chinese, take away their favored nation status and give it to india or something. They would last 10 minutes without the magic white man money. Yes, I went there
Great.
Getting better all the time.
I believe this.
The main person in Trump’s camp who coordinated was reported shortly after it happened in Taiwan’s press.
I cannot say how. GReAT this is.
