U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked outrage among Chinese commentators with threats to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. They point out that this contradicts the long-standing calls from the U.S. for 'restraint' regarding Taiwan. Chinese social media and analysts are already discussing Trump's comments.

This situation, according to some experts, could give China new opportunities regarding Taiwan. Trump usually has a one-step foreign policy and may seek to establish agreements regarding Taiwan. However, it is important to understand that Taiwan is already part of China, while Greenland is not. Chinese commentators demand that the U.S. cease claims regarding Greenland, otherwise China may take Taiwan.

Some analysts believe that Trump's threats could prompt China to invade Taiwan. But some experts are skeptical about this. Taiwan has the right to self-defense under U.S. law, but it is not entirely clear whether U.S. military assistance would be provided in the event of a Chinese attack.

However, there are opinions that after Trump's comments, Chinese leader Xi Jinping will assess his country's capabilities and the costs of military actions. Some former officials of the U.S. Department of Defense believe that such statements from Trump may deter China from taking action against Taiwan.
