On Friday, President-Elect Donald Trump angered a vast swath of the foreign policy community when he held a congratulatory phone call with the Taiwanese president, Tsai Ying-wen. It represented the first presidential-level phone call between leaders of the United States and Taiwan since 1979. Taiwan’s status has been a diplomatic hot-button issue for decades, with China claiming Taiwan as part of China, and Taiwan defending its own independence.

On Friday, Donald Trump became the first president-elect to speak to the leader of Taiwan since 1979. As the Financial Times notes, Trump's call could anger the Communist Chinese regime in Beijing:
Donald Trump risks opening up a major diplomatic dispute with China before he has even been inaugurated after speaking on the phone on Friday with Tsai Ying-wen, the president of Taiwan.
The telephone call, confirmed by three people, is believed to be the first between a US president-elect and a leader of Taiwan since diplomatic relations between the two were cut in 1979…
The Chinese leadership will see this as a highly provocative action, of historic proportions, said Evan Medeiros, former Asia director at the White House national security council.
Regardless if it was deliberate or accidental, this phone call will fundamentally change China's perceptions of Trump's strategic intentions for the negative. With this kind of move, Trump is setting a foundation of enduring mistrust and strategic competition for US-China relations.

After more than three weeks since Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election on November 8, the liberals in the entertainment industry still have not accepted the fact that Republican Donald Trump won the contest, and they use every chance they get to slam the president-elect. One such incident was the Gotham Awards, which are held every year on the Monday after Thanksgiving in New York City, when actor Ethan Hawke stated: “Whenever faced with fascism, the artistic community generally rises to the occasion.”

Irving Kristol famously wrote in 1978 that we might offer two cheers for capitalism—an insight borrowed from E.M. Forster's similar suggestion about democracy. The phrase is a call for restraint among supporters of free-market economics. Kristol himself said he and his fellow neoconservative intellectuals had learned to respect the power of the market to respond efficiently to economic realities while preserving the maximum degree of individual freedom. But he also urged conservatives to consider where and how unencumbered markets failed to deliver and to consider that some intervention—limited and narrow—could be healthy. Thus, two cheers, but only two.
What was once a warning to temper unbridled conservative enthusiasm for the free market might now be repurposed as a call to arms for advocates of market economics. Witness one detail from the New York Times's report on Donald Trump's speech to Carrier employees in Indiana Thursday, where the Republican president-elect praised the heating and cooling manufacturer for its post-election decision to keep around 1,000 jobs at its Indianapolis factory being outsourced to Mexico.
