    Saw that and he does have a point, Taiwan is a key customer. No salesman should refuse calls from the C-suite of a billion dollar customer.

    The whole America-Taiwan thing is a farce. Everyone knows they have a close relationship but whatever you do don't let the secret out!

    Wait till he gets the NSA approved twitter machine which connects him to the POTUS account.

    Live streaming of the most intimate (I know, wrong choice of words for this president in particular) thoughts of a head of state, ever.

    He most likely simply didn't know.

    He's out of his depth.

    Just saw his tweets about it. Mentions the US selling Taiwan billions of dollars worth of military equipment. Unbelievable lack of tact & diplomacy.

    Somebody take away this clown's twitter account.

    In a weird way, he might be the guy that saves Twitter.

    Twitter is really really good, a lot of people have told me that.

    The concept that the ROC will one day become a unified China is somewhat fanciful. Makes the whole one China smudge a little meaningless now. If / When the PRC implodes it is unlikely politicians from Taiwan will pick up the pieces (as they may of done in the early 70's.)

    I suspect another 4 years of can kicking rather than getting the official stated position to match the official position.
