Who cares what China thinks?

They are a communist dictatorship that is inconsequential to Americans.

People who think China will try to save their own economy instead of a war in the Taiwan straits are not informed at all. Trump is stirring up a situation worse than the Cuban missile crisis if he continues like this. Make no mistake about it, China and the US will be in direct confrontation in such a conflict and it will get very, very nasty, something I dont believe the American public is ready for at all.

But it is a necessary evil. China has never strayed from thier agenda of world dominance, beginning with Mao.

I don't think simply ending our one China policy and courting Taiwan would lead to a shooting war. More likely it would end our trade cooperation. Trump might want that.

From the country that worships Mao Zedong.

From a country that has normal relations with North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

And what did they think of Obama? https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...arrival-at-g20

I think you care when you are told you or your family members will have to be prepared to die for that island. China is certainly ready to take enormous losses.

The only idiots who believe this will lead us to a war with China are the exact same idiots who told us that Donald Trump could never win the 2016 election.
