Chinese media mock Trump for 'running the country with Twitter'
BY BROOKE SEIPEL - 12/05/16 05:37 PM EST

Chinese media is taking aim at Donald Trump over the president-elect's Twitter outburst on the U.S. relationship with Beijing.

The Global Times, a Chinese newspaper said, "Trump's reckless remarks against a major power show his lack of experience in diplomacy."

On the Chinese equivalent to Twitter, a user wrote, "The only way for the White House to have one day in peace is to cancel Donald Trump's Twitter account."

Another user wrote, "This is why I support him, he will definitely accelerate the economic recession in the U.S."

And finally, another user wrote, "He is running the country with Twitter."

7. And THAT, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how China handles such situations: soft power.

The moment Trump offended China by talking to Taiwan, I knew that they would exact revenge with their own kind of backhanded insult. Just big enough to piss Trump off, but small enough to ensure plausible deniability.
