      5. One China policy designed to serve interest of all 3 parties: USA & China get diplomatic relations, Taiwan gets USA military weapons.

      6. One China policy not sacrosanct but if Trump wanted to change it, way to do so is to announce change, not take rogue phone call as PEOTUS

      9. Worth separating out the substance of Trump's criticism of China from way he's making it on twitter & linking them Taiwan.

      10. Lots of other American politicians share Trump's concerns about supposed Chinese currency manipulation, barriers to trade, etc.

      11 But Trump isn't making these possibly legitimate critiques as part of negotiating with China. He's turned them into a twitter rant.

      12. A twitter rant that contextually links of Trump's trade objections with issue that Chinese hugely value, Taiwan's status

      13. Trade is a delicate issue, status of Taiwan is a hugely delicate issue. Linking them is explosive & could break relationship with China

      14. China has 1.3 billion people, nuclear weapons, & world's 2nd largest national economy. Not a government you want to anger on a whim.

      15. Again: if Trump's administration wanted to change One China policy, that's one thing. But this is creating a crisis by pure chaos.

          Also, doesn't China own a whole lot of US nat'l debt? Like 1.2 trillion? Has it occurred to him you don't piss off big creditor?

          Bad enough that Trump thinks these things.That he shd muse about it openly on Twitter is mind boggling.Diplomats must be panicked.

          The crisis was started by the main streammedia and their alarmist attitudes.

          16. There's a political constituency in USA for standing up to China but (outside of extremists like Bolton) not for doing it in Trump's way

          17. In fact, there are likely many people in GOP & especially corporate American who don't want trade war (or worse) with China.

          it's a completely ineffective way to achieve any foreign policy goal. Only serves to discredit US and give ammo to detractors
