Gordon Chang: Trump in the Region Is Something the Chinese Don’t Like Because He’s Showing the U.S. Flag

EXCERPT:

CHANG: "I think the Chinese thought they probably got the better of Trump during his stay in Beijing. That’s probably also just temporary. The reason is that underneath, those discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials didn’t go well from China’s point of view." 
BARNICLE: "Why?" 
CHANG: "For instance, we affirm that we’re going to continue to sell arms to Taiwan. We also told Chinese to get their agents off U.S. soil because they’ve been conducting inappropriate activities as they try to round up whom they consider fugitives. We’ve seen a lot of pushback from the United States. And just Trump being in the region is something they don’t like because he’s showing the flag, he's showing that the United States is staying in East Asia and they don’t like that either."
