All this nit-picking by MSM against PRESIDENT TRUMP only strengthens the resolve of his base.

I don't mind somebody at WH making this mistake. Another way to rile China even if it is by accident.:-)

My Chinese and Tiawanese friends all consider themselves Chinese. The “idea” of China being bigger than georgraphy or politics sort of thing. I don’t always get it, but I respect it.

What a gaffe!!!

Not. Who cares? It’s not like the White House did something REALLY bizarre...like saying there are 57 states. That would be far worse. Thank GOD that no president or administration has ever done THAT!!!/s

An omen? If Taiwan took over China it would be a far better place.

That stupid oxymoronic term “People’s” ! Taiwan is more genuinely its people’s than China is.

Just how are they able to hear someone pronounce an upper case “R” rather than a lower case “r” as in “the republic of China” and also as in “the republic of the United States of America”, both of which would be correct.

I viewed it as a sort of Freudian Slip. An accidental way of dissing China. That is why I posted it. But look at all replies. They think I did it to take a pot shot at Trump.

It seems that I need to write lengthy disclaimer and detailed explanation of why I posted it.
