However, the Chinese official was precise. Sean Spicer is a moron who said the islands are international territories. Wrong. They are Chinese or maybe Malaysian, Vietnamese, … whatever.
[/quote]Precise maybe, but incorrect. The Chinese want to cloak their claims with legitimacy. I refer you to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which incidentally China signed up to – but is basically violating. I also refer you to the 2016 PCA Tribunal ruling per Philippines v. China.

That just shows you that Trump and his people are not knowledgeable about policy. [/quote]
Predictable segway into anti Trump/Trump bashing.

On Korea, Trump wants China to intervene. In negotiations, a person of average intelligence would react: “you want it, so do it yourself, or pay me to do it for you. But try first, then we’ll see how much the job is worth”

China backs North Korea and starts sabre rattling whenever anyone else wants to deal with North Korea. Trump’s position is simple – if you (China) want(s) to back North Korea, you (China) take care of dealing with and the responsibility of any actions taken by your ally – or stop backing North Korea and we’ll take care of it.
