Did you even read this article bro?
>In October, a US Navy destroyer sailed close to Woody Island in what the Pentagon calls a "freedom of navigation" operation. The Chinese called the act "provocative." It was the fourth such operation by the U.S. Navy in the past year.
>In August, satellite photos appeared to show China making progress on at least two dozen hardened concrete hangers in order to land Chinese bombers and fighter jets as well as in-flight refueling planes, greatly expanding the reach of the Chinese military.
>The head of the U.S. military's Pacific Command, Admiral Harry Harris has repeatedly warned in the past year about China's continued military build-up or "militarization" of the South China Sea.
It seems like Trump taking the call with Taiwan was another in series of tit for tat actions of "who controls the South China sea" (sometimes called the Sea of Japan). I don't think Trump had anything to do the actions in October. I didn't hear you complaining then.
