‘One China Policy’: Why the United States Should not be bounded By This Policy; What Is The Country’s Strong Stand?

Donald Trump strongly confronts China with his stands that the United States will no longer bound itself to the "One China" Policy. For four decades, the United States acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China, but with the 10-minute controversial call with Taiwan President changes everything.

"I fully understand the 'one China' policy, Trump said in an interview with Fox News Sunday. He continued, "but I don't know why we have to be bound by a 'one China' policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade."

The Trade Donald Trump Wants With China

While President-Elect Donald Trump did not serve the entire deal he wants with China, he did mention a few things that can help the United States and the global community, especially in Asia. But even so, would this changes his mind with the "One China" Policy of the country?

Taxes across the border must have a win-win angle. The US is not imposing Tax for Chinese good entering the country and Trump would want China to make a policy to do the favor with the United States.

China and the United States are both accused of militarizing the South China Sea Region, but in this case, Donald Trump said China should stop building the fortress in the sea. Those territories are still disputed and China should give due respect to countries that are contesting the territories. The Philippines recently won the International Court ruling but China ceases to honor the decision.

North Korea is also China's problem with their super power. China got the same level of Nuclear heads and they could not help the United States with North Korea.

The "One China" Policy

Forty years passed since the last direct communication of Taiwan President with a US President. The 10-minute call Trump did with Taiwan ignited Beijing officials to adversely react, and seen a total breach of the diplomacy from both countries.

Chinese media even called Donald Trump and "Ignorant Child" because Trump does not have the experience to rule in foreign policy. "One China" Policy is a standing agreement the US and China got and it is not easily torn down.
