[Paulo]

I think that this is all americans scared for nothing. If I don't give a dime for what Trumps says, why would the chinese?

Talking about what trump says is a waste of time. Let's see what he does.

Trump is an idiot to call Taiwan's leader because this literally has been going on since the end of WWII. China is piss, that is one thing that they will always lash out on because of baggage (which I don't want to get into here). We have cut off ties with that place since 1979, so for over 37 years we didn't need to deal with it but if we do want to work with China (and we do have to work with them. They are too big to just ignore them and do whatever we want). This is probably going to cause a headache unless Trump takes it further. Hopefully, he will start being smart and work with both sides.

It's time to start talking to Taiwan. China is not going to do fuck all about it. It was just a phone call.

Um, yeah China can start to pull relations with us. They do have nukes, like us but not as many as us, and we have a crap ton of financial investments with China and vice versa. Sure, we don't have to always agree and can defend our allies but at the end of the day China needs us and we need China.

President Obama sells $1.83 billion in military hardware to Taiwan; crickets

Trump not even President yet gets courtesy call from Taiwanese President; liberals go apeshit.

This, stop acting like we don't have relations with Taiwan.

They could do that, but why would they, especially over a phone call? Sure China could get uber upset for no reason, but they aren't that retarded, it simply gains them nothing to throw a tantrum over a phone call. Not sure why you'd get antsy about this situation, the media is simply pretending it's a bigger story than it is, this is not going to hurt Chinese-American relations to any notable degree.

If Obama had broken the 1979 protocol, liberals would all be cheering and spinning it as using "soft power and diplomacy rather than military force!" But because the liberal media told them Nuclear Hitler did it; ape shit. It's positively Pavlovian, wot?

[Xenophon]

Heaven forbid we talk to another republic. The political commissar of the ChiCom would be very displeased.

aaah ha! See? You always agree that the economics surpasses that BS ideology or whatever. Making deals, that is the point. Who gives a S about what they say, it's what they do that matters,
