Trump risks major diplomatic dispute with China after speaking with Taiwan president

I'm flattered that I'm such a big part of your fantasies but really, when I get into your head so much, you should just create a thread like Das does. It's much more helpful. Just ask Das
Considering that most members of the US government were long ago purchased by firms doing major business with China I suspect the Dumpster is going to run into stiff opposition. He clearly has no idea how the US government actually but when he does he is going to get a nasty surprise.
I wonder if Taiwan was allowed to phone Trump to congratulate him on his win the way Donald phoned them? I wonder who phoned Trump from China to congratulate him? Has China reacted yet or is no comment their reaction??
China called on the United States on Tuesday not to let Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen transit there when she visits Guatemala next month, days after President-elect Donald Trump irked Beijing by speaking to Tsai in a break with decades of precedent.
China is deeply suspicious of Tsai, whom it thinks wants to push for the formal independence of Taiwan, a self-governing island that Beijing regards as a renegade province.
Her call with Trump on Friday was the first by a U.S. president-elect or president with a Taiwanese leader since President Jimmy Carter switched diplomatic recognition to China from Taiwan in 1979.
Tsai is due to visit Guatemala, one of its small band of diplomatic allies, on Jan. 11-12, its Foreign Minister Carlos Raul Morales told Reuters. He gave no details on what President Jimmy Morales and Tsai would discuss.
Taiwan's Liberty Times, considered close to Tsai's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, reported on Monday that she was planning to transit in New York early next month on her way to visit Central American allies Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador.
Taiwan has not formally confirmed Tsai's trip, but visits to its allies in the region are normally combined with transit stops in the United States and meetings with Taiwan-friendly officials.

Now it is a new source of tension in U.S.-Chinese trade relations. U.S. executives contend that the mysterious cache was part of a brazen scheme by one of China’s richest men to game the global trade system.
Nearly one million metric tons of aluminum sit neatly stacked behind a fortress of barbed-wire fences. The stockpile, worth some $2 billion and representing roughly 6% of the world’s total inventory—enough to churn out 2.2 million Ford F-150s or 77 billion beer cans—quickly became an obsession for the U.S. aluminum industry.

Trump’s Taiwan call wasn’t a blunder. It was brilliant.
Relax.
Breathe.
Donald Trump’s phone call with the president of Taiwan wasn’t a blunder by an inexperienced president-elect unschooled in the niceties of cross-straits diplomacy.
It was a deliberate move — and a brilliant one at that.
The phone call with President Tsai Ing-wen was reportedly carefully planned, and Trump was fully briefed before the call, according to The Post. It’s not that Trump was unfamiliar with the “Three Communiques” or unaware of the fiction that there is “One China.” Trump knew precisely what he was doing in taking the call. He was serving notice on Beijing that it is dealing with a different kind of president — an outsider who will not be encumbered by the same Lilliputian diplomatic threads that tied down previous administrations. The message, as John Bolton correctly put it, was that “the president of the United States [will] talk to whomever he wants if he thinks it’s in the interest of the United States, and nobody in Beijing gets to dictate who we talk to.”

Is poking China on Taiwan a good idea?
I have no idea. It depends on what happens. As Ross Douthat put it on Twitter, “it’s all fine until there’s an actual crisis and then it won’t be fine.”
China might suck it up and move on. China also might be a gigantic pain in the azz about it.
Nobody knows. The Chinese probably don’t even know. They’ll have to hold emergency meetings and yell at each other in private first.
They might get over it. The United States trades with Taiwan. The United States sells weapons to Taiwan. In 1996, President Bill Clinton sent two aircraft carrier battle groups into the Taiwan Strait when China tested missiles in nearby waters.

Answering a phone call is a lot lower profile than moving a couple of Carrier Battle Groups.
