Trump has been on China from the start because of uneven trade policies...He really doesn’t care if China is mad because he made a phone call...

OK, if we haven't talked to Taiwan in 30 years, how did we make so many Military Arms sales to them?

Maybe he should recognize Taiwan and tell the PRC to pound sand, or toxic dog food or something.

Or....maintain the “One China” policy but say “Yes, we continue to believe that there is only one China, but we view the non-Communist government in Taipei as the legitimate leadership.”

Awesome! Get the Chinese off balance before you bring up trade. Also, Trump just today or yesterday invited President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines to the White House. That will make the Chinese a bit nervous too because of the friction between Philippines and China over disputed islands.

[Trump almost surely unaware of Taiwan-China sensitivities before taking President’s call,” Bremmer added. “They don’t yet have Asia expertise on team.]

Was TRUMP supposed to hang up on the TAIWAN President? LOL

I think they’re just talking about heads of state.
