Recently, China didn't even reply to the WTO when the Philippines complained about trade and/or boundary issues. Now this? With the expansionist posture China has been taking regarding it's borders there must be tensions we aren't aware of and might not be aware of until it is too late.
Then to add to the confusion, Donald Trump, is speaking about Russia as a long lost friend.
I think there is a false sense of security occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. That is not even mentioning North Korea. None of this makes sense. A relationship with China that is hostile and one with Russia that is friendly. The puzzle pieces don't fit. Russia will never turn against China and vice versa. I think there is a dearly important break is real communication with China and Russia.
Everyone knows Taiwan would love the USA to take on China and liberate Taiwan. That is crazy stuff and when it comes right down to it, I the leadership in Taiwan uses such language for politics, but, know there is no way there is going to be a confrontation between the USA and China, it would drag Russia into it, too.
I'd like to see the Secretary of State that will fix this. China is a vital partner to the issues with North Korea.
See, Trump is used to talking to oligarchs in China and Russia. But, the oligarchs have no real government power. China has put a man to death when pets in the USA died. Talking to oligarchs is not like talking to the governments. Heck, there are issues of espionage that ended in death in Europe and Russia will never extradite the suspects.
Romney would recommend "Duck and Cover" and Bolton would be launching nukes the day of his confirmation.

President-elect Donald Trump (click here) spoke Friday with Taiwan’s president, a major departure from decades of U.S. policy in Asia and a breach of diplomatic protocol with ramifications for the incoming president’s relations with China.By Anne Gearan
The call is the first known contact between a U.S. president or president-elect with a Taiwanese leader since before the United States broke diplomatic relations with the island in 1979. China considers Taiwan a province, and news of the official outreach by Trump is likely to infuriate the regional military and economic power.
The exchange is one of a string of unorthodox conversations with foreign leaders that Trump has held since his election. It comes at a particularly tense time between China and Taiwan, which earlier this year elected a president, Tsai Ing-wen, who has refused to accept the notion of a unified China under Beijing’s rule. Her election angered Beijing to the point of cutting off all official communication with the island government....
