(Mallory Shelbourne, The Hill) – President-elect Donald Trump slammed China on Sunday, criticizing the country on Twitter for taxing U.S. products and for its aggression in the South China Sea.
“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…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!” Trump wrote in two separate tweets on Sunday evening.
The tweets come several days after Trump’s conversation with Taiwan’s president, which broke years of United States diplomatic protocol and risked a rift with China.
