President-elect Donald Trump’s conversation with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen breaks with decades of U.S. policy

BEIJING—A call between U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen is shaking delicate relations between Beijing and Taipei and threatening to place the U.S. in the middle of a relationship it has been careful not to upset.

  1. I am very glad that Pres. Trump has the balls to say FU to the Communist Chinese. The fiction maintained by enemies of freedom (that the Republic of China is not a sovereign nation) is even adopted by the western press, who identifies the "Taiwan" as the nation, and not the island where the nation is located.
