In order to get the upper hand on China, you have to understand China and think like them.You have to beat them at their own game. And that means listening to the people you're paying to analyze and prepare information about China for you (*cough* the Pentagon and DoD). You don't just casually blow off your entire intelligence community and go rouge. That's horrible for a true leader to do.
You simply cannot force that cheesy American false bravdo and cowboy bullsnip as the paradigm.

Would that start a Trade War? Or perhaps result in China demanding that we immediately pay what we owe them, instead of interest-only payments?

Alright I read more about it, it seems first off that sources need to be careful bc china paints a certain picture to justify occupation. It seems it was a not quite serf system as they could get out of their land contracts.
Tibet also would need to be compared to other countries in the asia at the time, which makes it not anything special. China also genocided what 50 million of their own in 1958 8 years after occupying tibet in starting in 1950.
Regardless I am neutral on the topic.
"Our longstanding policy on arms sales to Taiwan has been consistent across six different U.S. administrations," he added. "We believe our consistent policy has contributed to the security of Taiwan, and has also supported the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."

President-elect Trump spoke with the Taiwanese president today. Since China hates Taiwan, and Donald Trump has been badmouthing China for many years, for unfair trade practices, do you think that he had this conversation with Tsai lng-wen intentionally, just to say F-You (middle finger) to China?
Seeing the business he does with China he is more likely hoping China doesn't give him the middle finger.
(Does Donald Trump EVER Sleep?)
People with this habit usually don't sleep much.

If a war, trade or military, starts between the US and China, Russia must be giddy. It will mean our demise. 315 million against 1.3 billion, guess who wins that war. The only way we could win is with nuclear, and then lose at same time.

Uh oh:
China's foreign ministry said Saturday it has lodged a complaint with the United States over a controversial phone call between President-elect Donald Trump and Taiwan's President that has overturned decades of diplomatic protocol.
