Taiwan’s President: Phone Call With Trump ‘Doesn’t Mean A Policy Shift’

“However, due to its own domestic problems, India can only play a limited role in assisting the US in solving headaches, thus the Trump administration will not put US-Indian relations in a very important position, and its enthusiasm for building a quasi-alliance with India will decrease”, Li wrote.

Trump will have no choice but to hold off on his trade war.

Meanwhile, Trump further distanced himself from years of United States political correctness regarding China by accusing Beijing of devaluing its currency and building a “massive” military complex.

“I think these guys who are sitting around these academic centers spouting off ideology are as much out of touch with reality as left-wingers who are sitting around similar centers spouting off their version of ideology”.

“It might as well have said “fuggedaboutit!’, which is how New Yorkers say that phrase, and which essentially means ‘won’t happen” or ‘ain’t happening”.

“Trump’s China-bashing tweet is just a cover for his real intent, which is to treat China as a fat lamb and cut a piece of meat off it”, the paper said. I love the fact that Trump did that. The danger has accelerated over the past eight years, and North Korea now has the ability to mount a weapon on a ballistic missile.

The Chinese have reacted with outrage in the past at efforts to provide additional recognition for the government in Taiwan, which China regards as a breakaway part of its historic territory.

The trip has not yet been officially confirmed; however, it is likely to include visits to Taiwan’s other allies in Central America. Republican Trump, a real estate developer who has never previously held public office, takes office on January 20 after winning the November 8 election.

“It was a message in the sense that Donald Trump is not necessarily going to be told what he can or can’t do because a foreign leader says so”. Perhaps China will choose not to take what Trump tweets as planned policy. But both suppositions are risky to take for granted. “But things will be different when he becomes president”.

The White House said on Monday it had sought to reassure China after Trump’s phone call with Tsai, which the Obama administration warned could undermine progress in relations with Beijing. He knows about one China. He believes that the youth of the country sees a future not focused on China.

The Presidential office has not formally confirmed Tsai’s trip, but visits to Taiwan’s allies in the region are normally combined with transit stops in the USA and meetings with Taiwan-friendly U.S. officials.

China’s foreign ministry called on Washington to block any stopover in the United States. Policymakers on both sides of the political aisle panicked. That artifice is a counterweight to the more important fact that the US, by virtue of the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, has agreed to help Taiwan defend itself against any invasion by China.

Trump has pledged to be more “unpredictable” on the world stage, billing the approach as a much-needed change from President Barack Obama’s deliberative style and public forecasting about US policy.
