Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call  

First US-Taiwanese presidential contact since diplomatic relations were cut in 1979



Donald Trump risks opening up a major diplomatic dispute with China before he has even been inaugurated after speaking on the telephone on Friday with Tsai Ing-wen, the president of Taiwan.



The call, confirmed by four people, is believed to be the first between a US president or president-elect and a leader of Taiwan since diplomatic relations between the two were cut in 1979.



Although it is not clear if the Trump transition team intended the conversation to signal a broader change in US policy towards Taiwan, the call is likely to infuriate Beijing which regards the island as a renegade province.





The US has adopted the so-called One China policy since 1972 after the Nixon-Mao meetings and in 1978 President Jimmy Carter formally recognised Beijing as the sole government of China, with the US embassy closing in Taipei the year after.



The Trump team did not initially respond to multiple requests for comment but, after the Financial Times first published news of the call, confirmed that the president-elect had spoken with Ms Tsai and "noted the close economic, political, and security ties" between Taiwan and the United States

Taiwan is a de facto nation.

It would be de jure too, but China bullies the world into denying that Taiwan is a country.

What will China do?



Close all Western factories?



China is now reliant on the west for its revenue. It needs to STFU.

The US does need China's cooperation with North Korea.

Exactly. The centuries' old mindset needs to get on with the times. Let Taiwan go. It is its own country period.

I am not opposed to Taiwan making it's separation official. But, do we really want China to use it's vast influence in hot spots around the world against us? Do we want them aiding jihadi cells in the West?  I am not saying they will, but if we recognize an independent Taiwan, we have to be prepared for an angry and irrational China.
