Chinese state media has recommended that President-elect Donald Trump rethink late night tweets, following his tweets regarding China.
“Engaging in ‘Twitter diplomacy’ is ill-advised,” Xinhua News Agency wrote in a commentary Tuesday.
“Trump’s tweets have sparked concern in the U.S. and around the world,” Xinhua argued in another article Wednesday.
“It is common sense that foreign policy is not child’s play, and even less is it like doing business deals,” Xinhua asserted. “Twitter should not become an instrument of foreign policy.”
The commentary came two days after Trump tweeted, “China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won’t help with North Korea. Nice!”
Trump’s tweeting made it to the Senate floor, where Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) addressed the chamber using Trump’s tweets against Republicans.
