Trump Acknowledges Sovereignty of Taiwan, Provokes China

[Navarro]

"the conversation reported by several media outlets, calling it a 'historic' and even 'provocative.' Probably, it was the first contact between the presidents of the United States and Taiwan since both countries severed diplomatic ties in 1979. Although Washington then officially recognizing only the PRC ... White House was not informed in advance about the conversation. After the news there were quick to remind their commitment to previous policy of 'one China' and support Beijing. In China, this information does not comment, but it is expected that the conversation with the leader of Taiwan can cause severe cooling of relations between China and the United States."

Yeah, Trump poked China with a stick on this one. Be interesting to see if the Dalai Lama visits the White House through the front door or back door with Trump.

"Beijing has expressed concern because of the conversation ... 'The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry hopes that the conversation with the head of Taiwan's Trump will not create interference or harm the country's relations with the United States'"
