          President Trump has made it clear that he has no plans in honoring China or the "One-China Policy" which was an agreement between the US and China that the US cut off all diplomatic relations with Taiwan back in 1979. Furthermore, recently appointed Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson expressed during his confirmation hearing that the US would block China's access to the disputed Asian Islands in an effort to send China a message in shutting down China's military expansion. However, it looks like China is standing its ground with the prospect of fortifying the disputed islands in the South China Sea per Lu Kang's comments, a senior official with the Chinese Foreign Ministry, to NBC news in an exclusive interview on Tuesday that China views this as China's Sovereign territory.
