China has lodged a protest over Donald Trump’s conversation with Taiwan’s Tsai Ing-wen, the first between a US president or president-elect and a Taiwanese leader since 1979. Beijing urged the US to stick to the “one China” policy to avoid wrecking ties.

Trump and Tsai spoke over the phone for more than 10 minutes, discussing issues related to economic development and strengthening national defense, Focus Taiwan reported, citing the Presidential Office.

Tsai also reportedly voiced hope that Washington would lend Taipei “more participation and contributions on international issues.”

Thank you, President-elect Trump, for taking the call on behalf of the majority of your supporters.....many of us have never failed to recognize the nationalist government of Taiwan as a legitimate sovereign entity. We stand with your country & all other movements that oppose global socialist domination.

Trump is still a private citizen. He makes the calls he wants to make. What he just did was to send a very clear message to China — All options are on the table. All of them. He will be president soon. He will be negotiating with China, as president. All options are on the table.

They will understand this man.

...and the junta in Beijing is the illegitimate bunch.

See, “one China” ... just not the one they think we should honor!

Bolton said China doesn’t dictate who we talk to. Love that man.

Taiwan may need the latest jet fighters. They could use a few Aegis class destroyers. Too bad China. :)

They’ve allowed Americans to end the drudgery of going to work in a hot, noisy factory all day and that permits 38% of the workforce to live a life of art and leisure. /s

Although most of us loved Reagan, he never really showed himself capable of acting proactively,.....Trump is not waiting to respond to a wide range of policy directives coming from Trilateralists & CFR picked advisers.

Ever since Mikasa started competing with Noritake, any one china policy is at variance with reality.

(Ditto the PRC and the ROC.)

China tells us to stick to the one China concept? Yeah, we told you not to build some islands and expand territorial claims.

See how that works?

Trump will illustrate just how cowed the US has been all these years by foreign governments.

The 8 year party is over.

President elect is not an office despite Obamas cheesy logo. And the logan act is not violated by someone taking a congratulatory phone call. Nothing was negotiated.
The logan act does not prevent a citizen from merely interacting with any foreigner, including a foreign leader.
