Beijing will 'take off the gloves', if Trump continues on Taiwan- China Daily

ReutersJanuary 15, 2017

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Two influential Chinese newspapers on Monday warned U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that Beijing will "take off the gloves" and Taiwan may be scarified if he continues to provoke Beijing over the self-ruled island once he sworn in on Jan. 20.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Friday, Trump said the "One China" policy was up for negotiation. China's foreign ministry said "One China" was the foundation of China-U.S. ties and was non-negotiable.

Trump broke with decades of precedent last month by taking a congratulatory telephone call from Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, angering Beijing which sees Taiwan as part of China.

"If Trump is determined to use this gambit in taking office, a period of fierce, damaging interactions will be unavoidable, as Beijing will have no choice but to take off the gloves," the English-language China Daily said.

I will not "rally" around the flag and president if there's an "attack" like the last GOP POTUS had.
After the lack of help or patriotic support when we had a depression and the GOP bailed on the Democrats they are on their own now with me.

He's creating a situation or position he can later use as a negotiating point when he fixes everything wrong with China by using his AMAZING GREATER DEALS savvy.

He thinks he's running a company not a nation.

He's playing with live ammo.
