NEW DELHI: Just days after US President-elect Donald Trump ranted against Beijing using his favourite medium, Twitter, Chinese media, which is a mouthpiece for its government, has a message for the American: "Trump wants to treat China as a fat lamb... Forget about it!"It might as well have said 'fuggedaboutit!' ,which is how New Yorkers say that phrase, and which essentially means 'won't happen' or 'ain't happening".That's what the state-run Global Times actually meant in its editorial, which starts with the line, "US president-elect Donald Trump threw a tantrum against China Sunday night."China initially took a harder line against Taiwan for Trump's diplomatic gaffe in taking a congratulatory phone call from its President, than it did on Trump himself. Beijing media went so far as to say that Trump is inexperienced in diplomacy, so it was really Taiwan that tricked Trump and it's Taiwan that needs to be taught a lesson.Not any more. Now that it seems Trump is being deliberately provocative, it appears Bejing's cast off its gloves. No more excusing Trump for his inexperience in diplomacy.Not after what he said Sunday, on Twitter - "Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into their country (the US doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea ? I don't think so!"Beijing now appears convinced Trump wants to bleed China dry. That's what today's Global Times editorial says."Trump's China-bashing tweet is just a cover for his real intent, which is to treat China as a fat lamb and cut a piece of meat off it. Trump wants to revive US economy, but he knows that his country is not as competitive as it used to be. He is trying to pillage other countries for the prosperity of the US," says the editorial.Then there's a warning from China, in the editorial."No matter what the reasons are behind Trump's outrageous remarks, it appears inevitable that Sino-US ties will witness more troubles in his early time in the White House than any other predecessor. We must be fully prepared, both mentally and physically, for this scenario... We should stand firm and remain composed."And there's a message for the US President-elect too."He may ... believe that if China, the biggest power after the US, is awed by Washington , it will solve all other problems. China must be determined to upset his unreasonable requests at his early time in office, and fight back if his moves harm China's interests, regardless of the consequences to the dynamics of the Sino-US relationship. If China behaves soft-heartedly for the greater good of the bilateral ties, it will only embolden Trump to be more aggressive," says the editorial in the Global Times.That's the sound of the gloves coming off.
