China calls Trump's call a 'petty move by Taiwan'

China is calling Donald Trump's phone call with Taiwan a "petty move" by the country. Gordon Chang, author of "The Coming China Collapse," spoke to CBSN about why China is upset.

Trump answer every country leader who calls him.

The little boy is already in trouble before taking office. This is the boy who used to fight fire with fire. Perfect way to make America great again!

We complained cuz this is the policy negotiated by Nixon. This is just irresponsible and untrustworthy on Trump side. Politics is not some kids' game. U at least need to follow the procedure..

This guy predicted from 2001 China should have collapsed, and will keep telling that!

[soledadx]

Did he just say that US has nothing to lose in a trade war with China? Maybe I should remind him that US owe Chinese 1 trillion dollars.

[randalaltemus]

A petty call, maybe. But it got the attention of everyone!
Keep them guessing, Donald !!
Democrat for Trump !!!
To bad Barak didn't have any balls.

Kudos to Trump. Finally, someone have the balls to stand up to China. Recognizing Taiwan sovereignty is the right thing to do. They are their own country with their own government and military.

This is a great evaluation of the U.S Chinese situation

[kbhmagjor]

Haha. You seriously bring on Gordon Chang as an "expert"? He wrote The Coming Collapse of China fifteen years ago, and he's still waiting for it to happen.

[IfedayoAdeleye]

REALLY??? Does this guy really know China?

[khalidkhan-qxwn]

Dump dollars and collect all that debt the USA owes. America owes a lot of money and needs to pay its huge debt back. Can't keep printing dollars with QE'S.

Mr. Trump, be more smart than usual, pick Gen. Patreuss as a Sec. of State, this is gonna be the strong signal to the world that the New America is comming

[twenlil]

No .... not the illustrious Gordon G. Chang of the "The Coming Collapse of China" published 2001 !

[Alethiometer]

24 seconds in before I figured they are actually serious ..really oh my sides hurt! I thought is was a comedy sketch, then ha roflmao them being serious about this, is even FUNNIER

[李大朋-os]

what if China support Texas or California independence ?

[vantran-iwib]

Trump is doing great thing for the security of Asia. America is absolutely suffering. Why we Asia, the world not support Trump, not support America??? If China not occupy east sea? If Russia not occupy crimea, world would be very very safe.... The world will be destroyed because of human greed and too high self. The Buddha taught so.

There is a balance between China and America on issue of Taiwan. Trump came to break it. Interesting or bring more tough tension?

[dand]

What collapse? The petrodollar will go first.

And its on my middle finger
I gotta booger on my finger, flip it off!!
