China is Japan Archivesfed up with Donald Trump's trolling on Twitter, and has pretty much issued an official statement saying so.

A fiery commentary piece carried by the state-run Xinhua news agency on Tuesday blasted Trump for his "obsession with 'Twitter diplomacy.'"

Noting that Trump won the election as "the American presidential candidate who served as a television presenter," the piece also acknowledged Trump's fondness for social media: "Tweeting has become a habit for Mr. Trump."

It went on to cite U.S. media reports, naming former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, in its criticism of Trump's use of Twitter "as a tool for foreign policy."

The Xinhua commentary was published 14 hours after Trump tweeted his latest jibe at China -- saying it wasn't doing enough to rein in North Korea's nuclear ambitions.

The Chinese foreign ministry also officially addressed Trump's tweet that day. "The efforts we have made towards resolving the Korean nuclear issue are clear for all to see, and our contributions are also widely acknowledged by the international community," said ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang at a press conference.

Geng also noted China's role as the six-party Chair -- a series of negotiations between the U.S., China, Japan, North Korea, Russia and South Korea, aimed at disarming North Korea's nuclear programme.

On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated in a call with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, that the two nations should "maintain the proper direction in developing relations," Reuters reports.

Just last month, Trump majorly ruffled feathers with the large Asian power, when he tweeted a string of posts aggressively criticising China's monetary policy, as well as its territorial stance in the South China Sea -- a touchy topic for China and its Southeast Asian neighbours.

This was a reaction to China getting upset with him breaking with decades-long diplomatic policy when he took a call from Taiwan's president upon his win. China hasn't recognised Taiwan officially as a nation since 1979, and the U.S. has chosen to follow that line in order to stabilise volatility between the two Asian regions.

Sean Spicer, Trump's incoming press secretary, said Wednesday that staff aren't informed of the president-elect's tweets before they're fired out.

Spicer added that Trump will continue tweeting, something that will be an "exciting piece of the job" for him, said the Wall Street Journal.
