CNN: Trump takes fresh swipe at China after controversial Taiwan call
Hong Kong (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump has taken a fresh swipe at China just two days after a controversial phone call with Taiwan's president that upended decades of diplomatic protocol.
Trump, in two tweets late Sunday, accused China of keeping its currency artificially low and of military posturing in the South China Sea -- home to a tense territorial dispute.
"Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into their country (the US doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don't think so!," Trump said on Twitter.

China as, now, a real idea of what will be the American policy in Asia under the Trump administration. Well, what if China take a speedy action against Taiwan before Trump take place in the White House?
That's not the highest possibility but not to discard.

Dear Anon
Fuck China? if we go to war, will you go? your kids? nah. Sit at keyboard and play high school tough guy.
Fred is right on this score.
And fuck whatever/whomever -except the whatevers and whomevers that really deserve it- is the mentality that got Trump elected.
Fuck Trump.
Trump is not about to punish China for the many companies he and his daughter have in China....nor will he bring them back and pay even a minimum wage.
Nah, trump was elected because the silent majority in my country (not Canada) are sick and tired of equalizing with the rest of the world and aren't going to just roll over and become the human equivalent of shelter animals: useless and only slightly protected by laws.
So yes, fuck China very much thank you lol
And Fred: I just thought I'd add, the answer is yes, I'll be there if it goes down....while ur sleeping in ur comfy warm bed

I perfectly understand your point, and I hope this kind of thing will stop after January 20 2017. But, on my opinion, this is just politic with the goal to be well known with everybody. The consequence is an other debate.
We will see.
