What are the Chinese going to do a second time? Launch a nuclear missile or withdraw their plastic toasters from Walmart? I wait with baited breath.

Hey Wang, which side are you on?

Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party makes Beijing uncomfortable because of its official stance that Taiwan is independent and sovereign, rather than an extension of mainland Chinathe government's position that underpins the "One China" policy. What can President Trump do to help the legitimate Chinese government retake control of the rebel mainland provinces?

Christine Wang is a fake journalist.
Trump’s call WAS NOT “to Taiwan” but “from Taiwan”.

Ha ha ha.
It’s a message.
No more Communist China.
Reagan got rid of the Soviets, time to get rid of the ChiComs.
The hysteria surrounding this sounds exactly like when Reagan said the USSR was an evil empire.
Reagan was stupid, or naive, didn’t understand delicate diplomacy etc...

Doesn’t matter who initiated the call. It happened. Chicoms throw a hissy fit, especially the commie-loving libs/MSM. It’s like these “Americans’ are more concerned about China’s feelings over Americans for crying out loud.

I think today's Butchers of Beijing might be disappointed to find that Mr Trump isn't accustomed to being told who he can,or cannot,talk to.Any future attempts to do so just might result an hourly fly-by by the US Navy for every one of those illegal artificial islands that the Butchers are building in the South China Sea.
Among other things....tariffs,perhaps.

That was my reaction when I saw the post...

Trump's Twitter response:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 23 hours ago
Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

No mistake. We are allied with Taiwan, not the Chicoms.

China doesn’t really want an adversarial relationship with the US. They have too much at stake, such as their business viability.
The US is importing a lot of things from China.

The only group of people int he world who ACT more offended than liberal progressives when you don’t do EXACTLY as they demand and script are the officials of the Chinese government, complete with their uber short-mans disease.

Trump takes call. Taiwan on the table. Art of the deal on display.
China’s Jack Ma spits stinky tofu out over spinning table of crappy food in heavy sauce, chokes on shark fin.
