Trump uses Taiwan as a bargaining chip with China

China's President did not mention the elected President of Donald trump when he said at the world economic forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday. But Beijing is unhappy that the President-elect wants to negotiate the status of Taiwan.

Press Secretary of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of China said on Monday that challenging the longstanding policy of "climbing rock". Taiwan is an island with 23 million people, has been self-ruled since 1949. But Beijing still considers Taiwan a part of China, in accordance with the so-called policy of "one China," reports CBS News correspondent adriana Diaz. This is not negotiable, but trump wants to negotiate on this issue.

China to reduce tourism to punish the independence President of Taiwan, Tsai ing-Wen, who did not approve of the principle of one China. China has cut all official contacts with Taiwan in June. For his part, the President of Cai is on a political tightrope: trying to keep their biggest trading relationships. "I don't know why we should be bound by the policy of "one China," trump said on Fox News in December of last year. Now trump continues to twist the knife. He told the Wall Street Journal on Friday, "everything is under negotiation, including the policy of "one China."" In an editorial Monday it was said that if trump doesn't back off, Beijing will not "no choice but to take off the gloves."

Locals say that it simultaneously helps and hurts Taiwan. One woman said that she likes Mr. trump because he has the power. Another said, "I think he's going to do ... China is angry. So maybe it's not good for us." Taiwan is already feeling the pressure diplomatically. Last week, China offered Nigeria to invest $40 billion in turn, Nigeria agreed to close the trade mission of Taiwan in the capital. If trump is using Taiwan as bait after taking office, their future will be under threat.
