State Department officials have a collective panic attack over a phone call from Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. Yes she called him.
China builds military air bases in the South
China sea and the state department doesn't blink an eye. President elect Trump takes a call and you would think the world had just ended.
This is not business as usual. China is sticking it finger in the United States eye when it comes to trade and it's military expansion in the south China sea. The call between Trump and Tsai Ing-wen was prearranged. Trump knew full well of the diplomatic consequences. Yet he took the call.
This is not a rookie mistake but a diplomatic shot across the bow of China. Donald Trump grabbed a diplomatic chip from the table by taking the call and China is not a happy camper over it. Welcome to a new world China.
