So it’s easy to see why Trump triggered so many responses when he said on the weekend he wouldn’t feel “bound by a one China policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade.”

That statement came less than two weeks after he’d taken a call from Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, the first time an American president or president-elect has publicly spoken to a Taiwanese leader in nearly four decades. 'I don't want China dictating to me,' said Trump as he made a vehement defense of his recent phone conversation with the president of Taiwan.
President-elect Donald Trump says he sees no reason why the U.S. should continue to abide by the One China policy unless a bargain is reached with Beijing involving trade.
