Ryusei the Morning Star Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/16/politics/chinese-warship-underwater-drone-stolen/ China’s gambit here is designed to both humiliate President Barack Obama and to test Donald Trump. In 2001, China downed a US Navy intelligence aircraft and held Americans hostage for weeks while the two sides negotiated an exchange of “sorries.” The United States expressed “regret and sorrow” over the death of a Chinese pilot and its entrance into Chinese airspace. China played it as an apology. Trump has made noises about standing up to China, and his initial phone call with the Taiwanese president signaled willingness to oppose China. But will he be willing to threaten Chinese interests to send a signal? His isolationist tendencies will be at war with his aggressive tendencies here.
