In a Sunday interview with Chris Wallace, President elect Donald Trump did the unthinkable: he refused to cow tow to the One China policy, drawing a hard line in the sand with China that resulted in harsh rebuttals from both Chinese government officials and state run media.
Trump said, “I fully understand the ‘One China’ policy, 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.”
