How many other foreign nations have called to congratulate President-elect Trump????
There have been several...
China strongly objected, but in 2015 the Obama administration authorized a $1.83 billion weapons sale to Taiwan and made the first U.S. arms shipment to the island in four years.
It was primarily defensive weapons, weapons to protect from China. It included two U.S. Navy guided Oliver Hazard Perry class missile frigates, amphibious assault vehicles, and anti-aircraft and anti-ship systems.
And yet, Democrats are having a cow over a phone call. The rules are ALWAYS different for Democrats.
They know that, take advantage of it, and then either deny or downplay it. They are two faced slimes.
The real Chinese (under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek) fled the mainland in 1945 to Taiwan when the communist (with the help of Russia’s Joseph Stalin) defeated the nationalist.
Hence, the people living in Taiwan are the REAL Chinese, and mainland China is in fact the renegade province.
Trump should be dealing exclusively with the Taiwanese over the communist filth in mainland China.
Addtionally Trump could use Taiwan as leverage to slow down China’s adventurism in the South China sea.
Trump
supports good models, not size for its sake
Mainland China should be absorbed by the Taiwan model, and not the other way
Maybe Trump could offer Taiwan statehood and then if China took hostile actions it would be an act of war and China knows Trump would not hesitate to give them a big, HUUUUGE bloody nose.

What????
He violated the Carter principle??
(deal only with our enemies, insult our friends)

The whole ‘One China’ policy is absurd. Maybe it made sense in the early 50’s but it doesn’t now and it didn’t in the 70’s either when Nixion went to Communist China, opened diplomatic relations and had Taiwan (remnants of Nationalist China) expelled from United Nations.
They should be treated as two separate countries. We have a North & South Korea, and we had an East & West Germany. Still working on the former but the later worked out in the end.
In the meantime, there is no reason why we cannot deal with two Chinas. Of course it will be the people of Communist China as it was in East Germany and for a while in China (Tiananmen Square) who confect the change.
It seems to me that Donald Trump, as a private citizen (which he still is), can call up anyone he damn well pleases.
It will be refreshing to have a US President who speaks to whomever he wants without asking permission. Scott Adams is right again — this is a good move to give the Chinese something low-value to whine about. The Left thinks its brilliant to give them concessions for oppressing their own people less.
Anything that sets the underpants of the MSM and China on fire is a good thing.
But has China read his book?
Trump was just letting China know there’s a new U.S. Sheriff in town ...
Sounds like what my mind has been telling me so I absolutely agree with the article. I also think Trump is putting China on notice that he won’t bow to them or let them dictate to him.
WOW...Trump picks Mrs. Mitch McConnel for DOL and he immediately gets call from Pres. of Taiwan? Who knew?
