China State Media Warns of 'Resorting to Military Means' Over Taiwan After Lithuania Tiff

China's state-run media warned that the country may resort to "military means" to address future Taiwan issues after Lithuania moved to strengthen its relations with the island nation this week.

In an editorial published Sunday in the Global Times, China condemned Lithuania for opening a representative office for Taiwan on Thursday, and warned that it would take swift actions if other nations do the same.

China views self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory under a 'One China ' policy and has continuously stepped up pressure for other countries to sever any relations that could threaten its claim.

"If the island's collusion with external forces gets out of control and it greatly adds costs for the Chinese mainland to maintain the one-China principle, then we will naturally make major adjustments to our policy toward the Taiwan Straits, including resorting to military means to resolve the Taiwan question at once," the Global Times cautioned.

Why we don’t start isolating China for real. We’re talking about a country that threatens to start WWIII because friggin Lithuania was friendly to Taiwan.

Stop tolerating this bullcrap America.

We can’t do anything until this advance communist bunch in the Whitehouse is gone. By any means necessary.

China will endorse a rush into Lithuania by Putin and the Neo Soviets.

I thought this was the sort of thing that the UN was supposed to handle.

The best intentions often bring disastrous results.

I do think one of the really big lessons is that when we reach out to Bad Places — hoping to show them the light, and draw them out to be more like us — the result is that we become more like them.

I’m an isolationist. I believe in autarky. I’d like us to focus on our Constitution, put our head down, try to be make us be like us, and let the world do whatever it’s going to do.

“Why we don’t start isolating China for real. “

My cousin serves near the DMZ, never mind what the base name is. From what was explained to me..you do realize why do we have bases in Sokor and Japan and Diego Garcia etc?

Our GI’s already know they are NOT there to ‘defend’ Sokor but to CHECKMATE the chinx. THAT’S IT. Ask any GI at Yokota. They’ll tell you the same. We have a cluster of bases in the Pacific just for China and nothing else.

Between China and the EPA Nixon hosed the US. All with good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
And here we are.

Politicians can be voted out and changed fairly easily. But the bigger problem is some of the ignorant and more often not so bright public, especially when it comes to politics who votes these jerks in.

Prediction: China surrensers to Lithuania and therefore passes on several trillion dollars in debt to the former soviet republic. The world bank calls in all of their loans crashing the US, UK and EU central banks and securities leaving Lithuania as the leader of the World.

Then we drink Stumbras Krupnikas.
