...."Xinhua, the state news agency, has more or less
less asked Mr. Trump to shut up. “An obsession with ‘Twitter foreign policy’ is undesirable,” read the headline of a Xinhua commentary on Tuesday about Mr. Trump’s posts.

“Everyone recognizes the common sense that foreign policy isn’t child’s play, and even less is it like doing business deals,” said the article, published after Mr. Trump’s latest barbed comments on China.

“Twitter shouldn’t become an instrument of foreign policy,” the article said. Earlier that day, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected Mr. Trump’s accusation that Beijing had coddled North Korea.

“Issuing tweets has become a habit for Mr. Trump,” Xinhua noted. Mr. Trump, it said, appeared to assume that “issuing hard-line comments and taking up sensitive issues may perhaps add to his chips for negotiating with other countries.”...."

1. Foe some reason I find this hilarious.

The rest of the world views tRump as an idiot.

[Blanks]

2. The Russians have gotta be laughing...

There are many things that are sad about the results of the election, but that we somehow we elected the dude in 'Idiocracy' has to be the saddest.

[Jacob Boehme]

3. You realize we've entered our own version of the 'Twilight Zone'...

When the mouthpiece for a foreign Communist Party issues a clearer, more honest truth than the moron who's about to be installed in the Oval Office.

5. He is among other things an embarrassment to our nation

and to thinking people everywhere. Too clueless to realize how stupid and incompetent he looks.

7. Awhile ago..

8. Also, said Communist Party mouthpiece is more honestly direct than our own media.

10. Oh God

The Chinese are the grown ups in the world now. Gut wrenching to see what a banana republic we have become.

16. The Twitter Zone

4. China better be careful

The narrative is that drump is a 'counterpuncher' schooled at the feet of Roy 'red scare' Cohn

[Bayard]

6. At least China is truthful

They are saying what the rest of the world thinks. Trump has the mentality of a deeply troubled teenager. Like I've said before, one of my biggest fears is the rest of the world ganging up on us to end this lunacy.

9. "Child's play". They view Trump as a political lightweight. nt

[TreasonousBastard]

11. He is. A bully who sometimes gets what he wants, yes, but not a politician by any means.

[oasis]

13. Trump will need more than Kellyanne and Sean Spicer to shield him.

He's due for a meltdown.

[True_Blue]

12. Seriously!

Can we send a petition to Twitter to shut down his acct?

[KewlKat]

14. I think on the grounds of national security, the Con needs to have ALL forms of ONLINE

communication SHUT OFF!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Exactly.

It is both scary and pathetic that Trump does seem to view all foreign policy as some version of doing business deals. And that he thinks Twitter is an appropriate way to communicate serious things.

[Nitram]

17. I wonder how they're going to enforce that?

[aggiesal]

18. But, but ...

It's the only thing the Trumpians understand.

Trumpians don't want to know what is going on, they just want
to know what McCheetohead thinks about it.

No Chinese media outlet is going to stop Herr Gropenfuhrer or his Trumpians.

[packman]

19. Gotta admire in a way the honesty of the Chinese

Policy by Tweet cannot be accepted by anybody, any nation.
