Trump literally has been the toughest on China since the 70s and maybe ever before taking office by questioning One China; I’m not sure how you could think his policy would be indistinguishable from Obama not rocking the boat at all. This is one of those cases of an extremely wide glow-in-the-dark line that has been crossed. Without Trump flipping entirely on the issue (and possibly being even softer than Clinton) the damage is done. You don’t unring two very public questions of a decades old diplomatic stance.
