Donald Trump has been talking tough on China for his entire presidential campaign, but China never seemed to worry too much. That’s probably because they — along with everyone else — thought that Trump was going to lose. Now that they know Trump is going to be president, China seems to be freaking out.
The first signs of change came when Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen called Trump to congratulate the billionaire businessman on his remarkable victory. Previous presidents would have ignored the call, but Trump took it, angering many Chinese officials.
Barack Obama didn’t seem pleased with the development, either. The Obama administration has for years been supporters of the “One China” policy. The president quickly issued an apology to the Chinese for the break from protocol.
But Obama doesn’t seem to get it. He seems to care more about protocol than anything else. Why else would the President of the United States try so hard to appease a government that has threatened to sell weapons to our enemies?
Now, China is has flown a nuclear-capable bomber over the South China Sea and even seized a US drone in international waters, obvious responses to Trump’s phone call.
See how they might plan to retake Taiwan on the next page:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ― Steve Jobs
China has been prepared to do this for years. The only thing stopping them has been the US military and our commitment to Taiwan . China has till Trump becomes President to act.
I’d almost bet Obummer never ever stood up to a bully. Don’t expect him to do so in this situation!
If China tries to take Taiwan by force, with Trump they will quickly regret that decision.
China.can take a flying fu- -!
b******t
China just showed that “One China” is their vulnerable spot. Trump now has a (I’ve gotta say it) “Trump Card” to use in trade & Pacific expansion negotiations.
China’s greatest threat is internal. Just remember that. Their population is a powder keg. Let them get mired in a war to take Taiwan, go see how well their military fared trying to invade North Vietnam!
China don’t f with the Jedi masters son…
