China has slammed US President-elect Donald Trump over his use of Twitter to conduct international diplomacy in a commentary published by the country's official news agency Xinhua.
Trump has earned a reputation for making unpredictable statements on Twitter that often depart from longstanding US policies and he's made several controversial comments about China.
In a Tweet late Monday, Trump suggested that China wasn't doing enough to rein in its nuclear-armed neighbor North Korea.
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!

He's also used Twitter to accuse China of keeping its currency artificially low, of military posturing in the South China Sea and to announce that he'd spoken directly with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen -- upending a long-standing US policy.
