China to ‘Take Off Gloves’ if Donald Trump Continues Taiwan Provocation

Since his win in the 2016 presidential election, Trump has repeatedly challenged the “one China” policy. Trump is not (at least on this issue) making a misstatement.

“To our knowledge, China is already preparing measures in the event of actions by the new administration. should [they] impose restrictions on trade and investment with respect to China”, Lester Ross, head of the policy committee with the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said on Wednesday.

China has warned the United States that any tampering with the current decades-old policy on the status of Taiwan as a bargaining chip for a future trade deal would be a waste of time and is akin to “lifting a rock and dropping it on their own feet”.

Trump told the Journal that he would not label China a currency manipulator as soon as he takes office, though he repeated his contention that China is manipulating the yuan.

A forum on assessing China-U.S. relations under athe Trump presidency is held on Saturday in Beijing by the Pangoal Institute on Saturday. They believe that stable U.S.

The China Daily, an English-language newspaper affiliated with the government’s press office, warned in an editorial on Monday that the U.S. President-elect was “playing with fire”.

Each of these more aggressive approaches to the U.S. These powers may not be quite a “exclusive” as his recognition power, but they are close.

Bolton suggested that there would be no full-scale military alliance with Taiwan, and that no agreement from the U.S. Congress would be necessary because “the Taiwan Relations Act is expansive enough to encompass” a limited military relationship. It urged the President-elect to recognize the sensitivity of the Taiwan question. An editorial in state-run China Daily called Taiwan a “Pandora’s box” which had “the lethal potential to upend” Sino-US ties. You can build cars for the United States, but for every auto that comes to the U.S., you will pay 35 percent tax.

“Why is it we have gone so far to accept China’s interpretation” of that policy that he said allows them to view their borders in the Asia Pacific as identical to the Qing Dynasty of the 17th century, he asked. In the 1972 Shanghai Communique that launched the re-establishment of U.S. However, Ruan also said “China is now willing and capable of shaping [future] China-U.S. relations”. Throughout Trump’s campaign and subsequent transition, voters, commentators and observers in the United States and beyond have scrambled to square his proposed policies with the geopolitical constraints they will encounter. To be sure, as John Bolton argued in his op-ed, the first sentence merely “acknowledges” a position that the Chinese in Taiwan probably do not agree with today.

“The price is going to be enormous… the key question which underpins the health of the global economy is the relationship between the U.S. and China”. Does this mean less strong-arming by China vis-a-vis countries that are not the US? And then it is followed by subsequent administrations’ statements openly opposing Taiwanese independence.

Wang was referring to the same maritime region from where two US aircraft carrier battle groups, the Carrier Group Seven centered on the USS Nimitz, and Carrier Group Five centered on the USS Independence, were present during the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis.

Under the policy the USA recognizes the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government and does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan, which China considers a renegade province. Beijing has also started rattling its saber, sending military aircraft over a channel adjacent to Taiwan and sailing an aircraft carrier fleet into the Taiwan Strait last week. Still, in my view, none of these promises are legally binding under global law.

“To the credit of both countries the relationship has been relatively stable and open and what Trump is threatening to do its turn the whole thing over”. “But I don’t think we’ve seen that yet”. “That is the fact acknowledged by the global community and no one can change”.
