Trump Suggests Using Bedrock China Policy as Bargaining Chipquote:WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump, defending his recent phone call with Taiwan’s president, asserted in an interview broadcast on Sunday that the United States was not bound by the One China policy, the 44-year diplomatic understanding that underpins America’s relationship with its biggest rival.

Yeah, I guess the interesting shift is that the Democrats want a Cold War with Russia while Trump seems to prefer a Cold War with China. That said, in either case, Russia and China will likely cooperate regardless of who is in charge. Also, it is literally the forever war from 1984 in a more chilly form.

Don't worry, it's not like a principle which depends on both sides not doubling down infinitely is all that stands between us and global thermonuclear war.

China has no ability to wage global thermonuclear war Jesus Christ you all seem to literally believe that China is as powerful as the USSR was when they aren't and even the most cursory evaluation of Chinese power makes it obvious that they aren't.

Unlike you, I am talking about what is likely to happen. Seems pretty clear to me you will enjoy the glassing of Taiwan more than anything. Also I like how you think China dropping the bomb on its renegade province it desperately wants to reunite with the motherland, an island full of people bound by culture blood and trade, is the most likely outcome. All right then.

Tsai's approval rating is at 40% and rapidly dropping with just the slightest bit of pressure from China, but the Taiwanese people will definitely follow her off the cliff until they get turned into a parking lot so Judakel can crank out his genocidal fantasy

You never post anything except 'Heh, you're always wrong!' in reply to everything. So I have to assume you're just a moron who couldn't tell the difference between Thailand and Taiwan until you tried to wiggle it into your agenda. I personally happen to like Taiwanese people a lot and have a lot of friends there and find your nuclear holocaust fantasy disgusting is all. China views Taiwan like its daughter it is having a disagreement with, and America is the older man drunken boyfriend who took her in. The most logical solution to remedy this, of course, is to nuke the daughter. If the daughter was smart she'd look at what America does to all of its ex-girlfriends when the administration changes and go back home.

No, pretty sure you aren't paying attention to my posting that closely. Anyway, the only moron here is the one implying China will ever move away from the One China policy and tolerate it being used as a bargaining chip. I know, you like the Taiwanese people a lot... That's really relevant to what is a realistic outcome. Try thinking and instead of feeling your way through this topic.

Tsai is going to get thrown out on her rear end before that happens. Wait, I forgot, Taiwanese aren't real people and have no autonomy and are just there to get glassed according to you.

If Trump insists on being an idiot about this subject, it may not even matter. Nice job calling me a racist, though.

Holy smokes that got retarded in a hurry. Someone please post 'ArmchairGeneral.jpg' please.Bip Roberts posted:They're going to get away with twice as much now as long as they make token gestures to Trumps ego. Also lol at the idea that China would glass Taiwan when it's doubtful they'd even engage in sanctions yet. As if nuking them wouldn't make them into a loving international pariah to make the Russian situation look like heaven in comparison and threaten absolutely murder the CCP with discontent. The theory that it would backfire on the lady president politically is far more likely, but it's a while until the next election, so we'll see how it goes.

lol at the idea of anyone getting glassed for the sake of Donald loving Trump  Fojar's not wrong about his one point but sometimes it's just not all that relevant. Not everything that happens in East Asia is about becoming the foremost global power. Honestly it seems like most of his problems are with the Anglophone media.

Yes, it's a fairly acknowledged fact that the fact that the two loudest voices when it comes to discourse on China being on one hand the Anglo media and the other the CCP controlled media means there's plenty of distortion when it comes to info about China.
