>> MULTIPLE POLICE
OFFICERS WENT INTO THE
BUILDINGS AND ASSISTED
IN THE EVACUATION OF
THE RESIDENTS.
>> Reporter:
AUTHORITIES BELIEVE IT
STARTED IN A BUILDING

>>> A GREAT DEAL OF
DISCUSSION AROUND THE
WORLD TODAY ABOUT A
CONTROVERSIAL PHONE
CALL BETWEEN
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD
TRUMP AND THE
PRESIDENT OF TAIWAN.
THE U.S. BROKE FORMAL
RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN
ALMOST FOUR DECADES
AGO AS PART OF ITS
RECOGNITION OF CHINA.
TONIGHT MANY ARE
WONDERING WHETHER THE
PHONE CALL SIGNALS A
POTENTIAL POLICY
SHIFT.
WE GET MORE FROM NBC'S
KELLY O'DONNELL.
>> Reporter: TODAY IN
CHINA MILLIONS WATCHED
GOVERNMENT-RUN TV
REPORT ON DONALD
TRUMP'S CONTROVERSIAL
CONVERSATION, A
TEN-MINUTE CALL THAT
UPENDED DECADES OF
CAREFUL DIPLOMACY.
TAIWAN'S PRESIDENT
SEIZED ON THE MOMENT
BY RELEASING PHOTOS OF
HER ON THE PHONE WITH
TRUMP, PROVOKING CHINA
TO COMPLAIN TO THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
THAT HAD NO ADVANCE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE CALL.
>> IT DOES SUGGEST
THAT WE HAVE A
PRESIDENT-ELECT COMING
IN WHO IS VERY
UNFAMILIAR WITH SOME
OF THE DIPLOMATIC
CHALLENGES THAT THE
UNITED STATES FACES.
>> Reporter: SINCE THE
DAYS WHEN NIXON OPENED
THE DOOR TO CHINA, NO
ISSUE HAS BEEN MORE
SENSITIVE FOR CHINA
THAN THE STATUS OF
TAIWAN, AN ISLAND
TERRITORY THAT GOVERNS
ITSELF BUT THE U.S.
DOES NOT FORMALLY
RECOGNIZE.
I'M JANICE MACKIE
FRAYER IN BEIJING WHY
THE CALL WAS TAKEN AS
A SERIOUS AFFRONT.
IF IT IS A MISTAKE IT
IS LIKELY TO BLOW
OVER.
IF IT WAS STRATEGIC
THERE IS THE CHANCE OF
A MAJOR RIFT BETWEEN
U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS
BEFORE TRUF'S
PRESIDENCY EVEN GETS
STARTED.
>> TRUMP TWISTS THE
ECONOMIC.
>> I HAVE WOULD WE
CAN'T CONTINUE TO
ALLOW CHINA TO RAPE
OUR COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: TRUMP
USED TRIRT TO
CHALLENGE HIS CRITICS.
INTERESTING HOW THE
U.S. SELLS TAIWAN
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
MILITARY EQUIPMENT BUT
I SHOULD NOT ACCEPT A
CONGRATS YOU LATORY
CALL?
TODAY THE
PRESIDENT-ELECT'S
ALLIES SAY TRUMP MAY
BE SENDING A SIGNAL.
>> CHINA IS EXTREMELY
RELEVANT TO US BUT WE
CAN'T LET CHINA RUN
ALL OVER YOUR
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
AND DO CYBER HACKING
AND LET IT GO
UNCHECKED.
>> TRUMP'S INITIAL
MOVES ON THE WORLD
STAGE COME WITHOUT THE
PERSON WHO WILL BECOME
HIS DIPLOMAT.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
POSITION IS STILL
OPEN.
TONIGHT SOURCE
FAMILIAR WITH HIS
SELECTION PROCESS THE

MOVED ON.
THEIR ABILITY TO KILL
REMAINS.
INSIDE THE KITCHEN, A
BOMB A PRESSURE SWITCH
ON THE FLOOR, AND
ANOTHER INSIDE THE
FREEZER.
A CHILD'S FOOTSTEP
COULD SET OFF ONE OF
THESE BOMBS, BUT THE
PRESSURE FROM THE
BLAST, THE POWER FROM
THE BLAST IS STRONG
ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY
DESTROY A VEHICLE.
MOSUL WAS KNOWN FOR
ITS PLASTICS PACK
