We hope the U.S. can abide by the one China policy...and not let her pass through their border.

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen will pass through the United States when she visits Latin America next month, the Taiwan Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, angering China which urged the United States to block any such stopover.

China is deeply suspicious of Tsai, who it thinks wants to push for the formal independence of Taiwan, a self-governing island that Beijing regards as a renegade province, ineligible for state-to-state relations.

Details of the stopovers will be disclosed before the end of this week, the ministry said. China said Tsais intentions were clear and urged the United States not to let her in.

We hope the U.S. can abide by the one China policy...and not let her pass through their border, not give any false signals to Taiwan independence forces, and through concrete actions safeguard overall U.S. China relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan strait, Hua Chunying, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, told a briefing in Beijing.

1. I love reading CCP butthurt. The CCP is pathetic.

Most people here in China consider them murderers, thieves, and unworthy of discussion.

BTW, CCP. . .you know that soverignity you bitch about when people tell you things you don't like?

Who the flying fuck are you to tell us what we can do inside our undisputed border and who the fuck we can let stopover in our country?

Fuck you fuckers. . .don't you have some FLG people to torture, Hong Kong to destroy and Tibet/Xinjiang to oppress more?

And Trump promises to name China as a currency manipulator.



What it means if Trump names China a currency manipulator

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to name China a currency manipulator on his first day in the White House.

There's only one problem - it's not true anymore. China, the world's second-biggest economy behind the United States, hasn't been pushing down its currency to benefit Chinese exporters in years. And even if it were, the law targeting manipulators requires the U.S. spend a year negotiating a solution before it can retaliate.

Trump spent much of the campaign blaming China's for America's economic woes. And it's true that the U.S-China trade relationship is lopsided. China sells a lot more to the United States than it buys. The resulting trade deficit in goods amounted to a staggering $289 billion through the first 10 months of 2016.

But in fact, for the past couple of years China has been intervening in markets to prop up its currency, the yuan, not push it lower.

3. Wonder if that lop sided trade includes all the farms, buildings, etc

that Chinese investors are buying up here.

West coast cities housing bubble is in part due to Chinese investors parking cash in condos and other prime rental properties.

china bought Smithfield farms, a huge pork producer here, a few years ago. I doubt that was the only agric. purchase.

4. Trump has already pissed off the Chinese once

What's he going to do when this happens? Bomb them? Is his new SOS going to smooth things over? This relationship is just going to keep getting worse, and Trump's ego will take over.
