Milley told Chinese officials he would warn of an attack in advance, according to the book
During the final months of former President Donald Trump's term, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley made two phone calls to Chinese officials in fear that Trump would create n Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa, it is alleged that Milley made two secret phone calls, both to his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army. The book alleges that the phone calls took place prior to the 2020 presidential election on Oct. 30, 2020, and two days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, on Jan. 8, 2021.
According to the book, Milley contacted Zuocheng after he had reviewed intelligence that suggested Chinese officials believed the United States was planning an attack on China amid military exercises in the South China Sea.
"General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be OK," Milley told him during the first call, the book said. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."
The book, excerpted in the Washington Post, also stated that Milley told Zuocheng that he would warn him in advance should America decide to "attack."
"Gen. Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time," Milley added, as reported by the book, "Peril," which is set to be released next week. "It's not going to be a surprise."
The authors of the book also claim Milley contacted Zuocheng a second time to reassure him that the U.S. would not make any type of advances or attack China in any form, as

Milley is a traitor.
He should be treated like one.
But we were told the “deep state” was a gas lighting Trump paranoid delusion
If you mean they could charge Milley with a FARA violation, I don’t think they want to unless they think he is a liability. They decided not to charge Flynn with FARA and charged perjury instead.
Milley, beside being an @$$hole, is a traitor.
We should’a nuked Communist China back in the 1950s. They’d be a second Japan by now.
Ooohhh boy, now you’ve done it ! You have given poor bubba a reason to be scared of garage doors again !!!
In Flynn’s case and Roger Stone’s case, they got Trump-hating judges. And I still am not sure what Milley actually said to China.
FThatGuy...
Hi Adolph...just had a conference call with Winnie and Monty....so expect a Rhine crossing in a couple of weeks....Regards...General Patton.
... and what’s going to happen? Absolutely NOTHING!!
It’s ironic, these leftist want us to believe they were concerned with Trumps mental state, and then they turn around and elect some guy with dementia and other obvious mental issues.
This whole thing is really unreal.
But Gen Flynn phone call ?
Needs to go hang out with the other halfbreed.
Bet that was not the discussion, bet he was telling them all their commands/demands were met.
I am curious if General Milley has now called his North Korean counterpart to advise him not to worry, that he we will forewarn him if his cognitively challenged commander in chief should issue orders to launch an attack. Seems to me our enemy nations’ most precious intelligence asset is the incompetent political rogue heading up the Joint Chiefs office and disgracing the uniform.
And why would we attack China…. What is being unsaid here ?!?
Yeah no kidding
I don’t believe for a second that Benedict Milley thought that Trump was at the point of a nuclear launch.
If he really thought that, we’re confronted with the reality of an absolute moron rising to the top of the military.
