US president-elect Donald Trump who is known to be very active on Twitter has been criticising China on the social media network.
Trump says the country didn’t consult America on monetary policy or on building a military complex in the South China Sea.
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 U.S. doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don't think so!

It is the second time he has risked a diplomatic row in recent days.
China meanwhile has lodged a formal complaint over a call between Mr Trump and the leader of Taiwan – which Beijing sees as a breakaway province.
Mr. Trump, you better mind your country remember this is China.
