Trump’s Taiwan call: A 10 Minute Call That Could Change History
The most controversial Friday's 10-minute call is one of the desolating paradigms of Trump's defiance of the diplomatic delegation, which oversees U.S. diplomacy. He takes charge of calls with foreign leaders without the general supervision by the State Department
Convened by the White House, the phone conversation between Donald Trump and Taiwan's president resident Tsai Ing-wen was deem to weaken relations between Washington and Beijing. This action believes to heighten up a fissure with Beijing which disobeys the One- China policy which has been settled since 1979.
Under that policy, the U.S. recognizes Beijing as representing China but remains unofficial ties with Taiwan. Since 1979, the government in Taiwan shifted diplomatic recognition of China to the communist government on the mainland. This code holds an agreement that there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China. Both leaders of these two countries have long pledge to the one-China policy in which each country is claiming on their own government's legality.
The China's foreign ministry protested President-elect Donald Trump action of breaking a decades-long conciliatory tradition by speaking directly with the president of Taiwan while de-emphasizing the importance of the exchange. China warned Trump on Monday the possible risk this may cause to both parties even though Trump has already spoken up his thoughts about his messages on Twitter about his challenge to China's policies on trade and security most especially on dealing with the military activities in the South China Sea.
The conversation on Trump and Tsai was centered on issues affecting Asia and the future of U.S. union with Taiwan. Tsai Ing-wen is hoping to strengthen mutual relations and arranging a closer interdependent relation with the US. The two leaders were sharing their ideology on the effective approach of promoting domestic economic development to make ordinary people's life better.
