Donald Trump criticized China today on Twitter.
The president-elect condemned China’s currency devaluation.
Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into..

And then he condemned their military buildup in the South China Sea.
their country (the U.S. doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don't think so!

China lodged a complaint with the US after Donald Trump spoke to Taiwan’s leader in a phone call last week.
US policy set in 1979 under Carter cut formal relations with Taiwan.
Obviously, President-elect Trump was not phased by China’s formal complaint.
