Why 2017 is the wrong year for Trump to mess with China - Bakari Williams

Summary: The article explains how Trump has already created tensions between the US and China by meeting with the Taiwanese President earlier this week. China feared that this action will mess with the One-China Act that gave the Taiwanese diplomats little to no power. Another thing that was specified was that the upcoming election in China will make the government a very sensitive thing to tamper with and they will not take lightly to any outside influences during the time of the election.

Synthesis: The topic is related to the passing of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 which said that all of the old world countries were basically forbidden from having anything to do with the United States. China is basically saying the same thing and that any further outside influence, aside from what Trump has already done, will not be tolerated.
