Trump threatened war with China for personal gain (death, military, dollar)

[katzpaw]

Trump was all for a two-China policy and for challenging China in the South China Sea. Both would lead to military conflict.
It was a nice bluff by the great deal maker.
China caved, gave Trump his trademarks, and invests in a billion dollar real estate deal with his son in law.
Suddenly all is well and Donny invites the Chinese premier over for dinner.
Using the Presidency and CinC role for personal gain.

This has already been beaten to death.

Trump was never against the one China policy, but nice spin.

Nice try, fake news.

while politicians may argue one china or two


the fact remains there are truly two china's... red china (PRC) and the republic of china (ROC) aka Taiwan

The People's Republic of China (which administers mainland China) and Republic of China (which administers Taiwan) do not officially recognize each other's sovereignty. The official position of the governments of both the People's Republic of China and Republic of China remain that there is only one sovereign entity of China, and that each of them represents the legitimate government of all of China—including both mainland China and Taiwan—and the other is illegitimate. However, in recent years, the rhetorics of the two governments have diverged significantly on the issue of "Two Chinas" or "One China, one Taiwan".
