Former head of state-run Chinese newspaper claims 'high probability’ of war with US
Yahoo News/Next shark ^ | 4/20/22 | Jane Nam

Posted on 04/28/2022 3:54:18 AM PDT by EBH

The prominent former editor-in-chief of the Global Times, a highly popular state-run Chinese media outlet, published a commentary on Saturday urging Chinese citizens to “prepare for a military struggle” in the near future.

The commentary, written by journalist Hu Xijin, came after U.S. senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and six other U.S. officials visited Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, last Thursday. The visit was strongly denounced by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian, who warned that China is “firmly opposed to any form of official exchange between the U.S. and Taiwan.”

Hu, who resigned from his post at the end of last year after three decades at the newspaper, remains a vocal and influential state media figure with around 460,000 Twitter followers.

Earlier this month, Hu wrote an article for the Global Times stating that Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, which China claims as a part of its territory, would be “the most serious provocation by Washington to China on the Taiwan question since the island's then regional leader Lee Teng-hui visited the US in 1996.”

On Twitter, he simultaneously wrote that Pelosi was “playing with fire” and that “there must be serious consequences for her visit.”

It doesn’t take an expert to see the beginning of WW3. It’s obvious

That's OK by me; and regarding Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, I dispise here as much as the Chinese do, maybe more!

I hope not but if true, then it will have been the free traitors who conned into paying for their military.

Russia and China (and all our enemies) know full-well that the Biden presidency is a window of opportunity (golden opportunity, in fact).

It is hard to imagine a better opportunity to get rid of freedom in the world.

It's now or never.

Our enemies include our own citizens who support the globalist agenda of "The Great Reset". A large, costly and dangerous war would create the perfect conditions to enact that reset and sweep away individual liberty and capitalism in one grand act.

Actually the requirements to become an expert, complete with Ivy League pedigrees and all the right connections to "intelligence", include being completely blind as to the consequences of their actions, ignorant of history, and an abiding faith that agitating for forever-war will never come home to bite them on the ass.

Russia attacking Europe and China attacking Asia/Australia, what would the US do? We are not equipped to fight a war on two fronts and our military has not had a real victory since World War II.

Before Nixon & Kissinger visited China in 1971, China was a backward, mess of a country. Now it virtually owns US.

Right; I’ll believe war is coming when we stop filling our shelves with their cheap wares and our universities with their young cadres.

Our elites are in bed with theirs.

"It doesn’t take an expert to see the beginning of WW3. It’s obvious."

I believe the war has already started.. The invasion across the border and recent destruction of the food possessing plants are good indicators..

We got to know that all those young military aged men bringing in all that Chinese poison (Fentanyl) are NOT our friends..

And we also know there are those in our own government who committing treason by helping our enemy..

He is correct. China declared war on us when they released their Chinavirus on the world.
