Global Times is a Chinese Communist mouthpiece. It puts out their views and policies, threats and plans etc...
The entire editorial takes the tack that the US and China are cooperating on the issue, but the above paragraph is key and directly reflects the title of the editorial, "Boundary line drawn over N Korea nuke issue".
The boundary line is "the Chinese people will not allow their government to remain passive when the armies of the US and South Korea start a war and try to take down the Pyongyang regime".
Can't be more clear.
This paragraph also spells it out.
—
However, cooperative efforts by China and the US will under no circumstance evolve into any kind of military action against North Korea. Beijing will never support or cooperate with Washington when it comes to implementing solutions that involve using military force against Pyongyang. Nor will Beijing support increasing measures from Washington that involve the direct overthrow of the Pyongyang regime.
The Chinese people won’t allow...? Bwa ha ha ha ha...
This is a government that runs tanks over “the Chinese people.”
China would prefer...
Oddly unmentioned: South Korea wants unification.
Won’t happen with China intervening.
The Chinese government needs to pull it’s head out, and come to grips with the reality the United States will not sit idly by and watch North Korea reach the level it can blackmail the U.S., Japan, and other U.S. interests with nuclear weapons.
If the stone age is where China wants to return to, it can be accommodated.
We don’t have to keep propping up the Collective.
We can make stuff at home, and we can abandon China to fall in on itself.
“Chinese Volunteer Army” Yeah, right!
A lot of American blood was spilled there too while we were spilling Chicom blood.
Either side could resume hostilities at any time by ending negotiations, but the side that did would suffer the negative public relations of doing so.
So, if President Trump is willing to suffer some negative press reports, he could just wipe North Korea off the map.
Hey ifinnegan, I was wondering where ya get your news...That pretty much answers that.☺
China doesn’t “allow” the USA to do anything regarding foreign policy.
Ping for TLR.
There it is, official word from the PLA to North Korea and the West. And it argues against every realistic way of stopping North Korea from continuing its nuclear weapons buildup. So Kim Jong Un is notified by the PLA that China will help him to keep his nukes. In diplomacy, China will happily continue with any agreements devised as stalling tactics against the West.
Obviously, the ChiComs want the U.S.A. out of the way of their plans for freer parts of Asia and Europe. We’ll see what Asians and Europeans want: freedom or occupation and enslavement by China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Syria, etc.
“The Chinese will not let something like that happen”
A Red Line?
I’ll have to remember, unnamed anonymous Communist Chinese reporters are good to go for FR breaking news section!
lol...
No big deal. Let China handle the minutia.
We can sit offshore (better money spent than on filth) and just shoot down any crap they launch.
No need for BS.
It pretty much sounds like a green light for targeted strikes on their nuclear/ballistic missile facilities (with a warning to consider the retaliation against ROK), while drawing a “red line” at invading and toppling the regime. Unfortunately, KJU is insane and his retaliation would probably require the USA/ROK to take out the few large artillery pieces that can reach Seoul, as well as short/medium range missiles if he used those. It could easily escalate further from there. Possibly China will warn KJU to limit the retaliation.
Sounds like they would allow a “light blow” but they are warning NK may retaliate. I think we still need more Chicom cooperation.
Assuming everything we’ve heard about the NK regime is true (to be sure I don’t know if it is) I would say that the best option would be to bait Kim into striking first and then go in as hard as you can from all sides (bring in NATO, Japan and SK) and nuclear weapons should absolutely be on the table at that time. It makes little sense to wait until they’ve perfected the tech to turn their words to action.
