"But if such contacts continue after Inauguration Day," Mr. Shen said, "China should end diplomatic relations with the United States. I would close our embassy in Washington and withdraw our diplomats,” he said. “I would be perfectly happy to end the relationship. I don’t know how you are then going to expect China to cooperate on Iran and North Korea and climate change. You are going to ask Taiwan for that?”

Sounds good to me!

They’d also be fools in China to make a devil’s bargain with Iran, or North Korea, both of which could turn on them.

Communist China needs to realize that the ROC/Taiwan will remain independent ... peaceful/non-threatening, yes, but independent and NOT SOLD OUT by USA

China has been given a “nuanced” heads up that Trump will not be walked on or dictated to.

So what if Trump changed a 40-year-old U.S. policy on China. Obama changed a 55-year-old policy on Cuba (and was praised by the NYT).

Yeah, end the relationship dumb ass. Where you gonna sell your crap? Implode your economy. Now you get to enjoy the position of someone owing you tons of cash. The debt holder is just as screwed as the debtor.

Dim bulb. Just accept that Taiwan isn’t yours and that America wont dance like a monkey on a stick anymore at your command. Just go with it, itll actually be better for you in the long run.

China’s thin skin is a ruse. You will never make friends with China. China wants to own the ocean and surround Japan and Taiwan. They do not intend to be friendly to the US. Our Navy ships allow cargo to move through that sea. China is going to take offense of everything we do. And if they can control that ocean, they can control the ships leaving the rest of the Asian tigers to the US. It does not matter who made this phone call. Or even that the phone call exists.

Trump talked to the President of Taiwan and Liberal freak out.

Obama met with the President of Cuba, and talked with the President of Iran and Liberals cheer.

I know what side I’m on.

“he caught the Chinese government off guard by lunging into the most sensitive of its so-called core interests”

And the world saw this. They saw him catch them with their pants down. How long has it been since the world worried about what WE might do instead of expecting us to react to their acts?

And wonder if this feels like we did when they built those islands and expanded territorial claims?

Fluk China and the commie dictators. The USA has sold it’s soul and industry to these strident commies. Time they are given a clear message that Trump won’t be bought or bullied.

“I don’t know how you are then going to expect China to cooperate on Iran and North Korea and climate change. You are going to ask Taiwan for that?””

Like they are right now? The kick me sign is off the US now. The idea that something Nixon did should not be “revisited” in today’s world is laughable.

Economically America has become China’s plantation.

It’s the same way democrats treat blacks - the more abuse they heap on blacks the more blacks vote for them.

The more China takes advantage of America the more our spineless leaders give them what they want.

It will be a long overdue and welcome change to have a president who wants to represent America and place our well being first.

All the leftist media is hyping this as something real bad, as they are going to do as long as Trump is president.

I seem to remember bammy doing something that annoyed China too. Anybody remember exactly what it was?

“”the kind of person China might find common ground with despite his threats of a trade war.””

I think they read the “tea leaves” wrong. Do Chinese read tea leaves? It’s not like he didn’t give plenty of heads up for China during the campaign. They should have been able to read between the lines and know he wasn’t coming down on China for just trade deals.

“”I don’t know how you are then going to expect China to cooperate on Iran and North Korea and climate change””

I don’t think we should depend on ANY help from ANYONE when it comes to Iran and/or North Korea...and for climate change? LOL!
