China Will Defend North Korea If Invaded

So here it is, a hint as to how China will react in case of an attack either by N. Korea or the US. An editorial in the Global Times said that if N. Korea foolishly attacks US soil; like for instance Guam, China will remain neutral. But if the US invades N. Korea for a regime change, China will come to its defense.

Beijing is not able to persuade Washington or Pyongyang to back down at this time. It needs to make clear its stance to all sides and make them understand that when their actions jeopardize China’s interests, China will respond with a firm hand.

China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten US soil first and the US retaliates, China will stay neutral. If the US and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow the North Korean regime and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so.

Many people believe the possibility of war is very low. If war really breaks out, the US can hardly reap any strategic harvest and North Korea will face unprecedented risks. North Korea aims to propel the US to negotiate with it, while the US wants to put North Korea in check. Neither can achieve its goal, so they compete to escalate tensions, but neither wants to take the initiative to launch a war.​

The real danger is that such a reckless game may lead to miscalculations and a strategic “war.” That is to say, neither Washington nor Pyongyang really wants war, but a war could break out anyway as they do not have the experience of putting such an extreme game under control.

A most reasonable position IMO

 

Is this a representative of the Chinese government saying this or a representative of a newspaper please?

It's pretty much what I expect Chinese policy to be as it happens. But do they clearly and unequivocally as a national government say this?
Have they left any doubt at all, because if they have, it won't settle the matter.

 

China will defend NK!!!!
thank you China!!!!!

someone has to put Trump in his place

 

this is news does not represent official Chinese government policy. its like CNN said US will invade NK tomorrow without WH/congress said anything.

 

China and NK have a mutual defense treaty

if one is attacked, the other must come to its aid

 

I'm very surprised to see you jump on the Kim Jung Un fan club train. Is this a left wing thing or is it just you? 2020 is going to be another very disappointing year with this attitude.

 

i support pre-emptive action against NK, but only if an attack is imminent

 

China don't have mutual defense treaty with anyone. This is not 1950, I wont be surprise if china invade NK (if war break out) and put a puppet regime in place.

 

This is confusing. In another thread you thanked China for trying to kill US soldiers that would be at war with North Korea. You said "Thank you china for defending North Korea"

 

that is a lie.

stop lying about my posts

 

More cheerleading for NK...

 

no, i just dont want the USA starting a nuclear war

 

Sorry, Chinese People’s Volunteer Army in Beijing will not be considered neutral. {period}

 

though if china say they will defend NK if they been attack first, hopefully this will give the orange clown in WH a pause before his decision kill hundreds thousands people, (maybe not).

 

China will remain neutral in the event North Korea attacks the U.S. but if the U.S. launches a preemptive attack against Pyongyang, the PRC will come to their defense, state media reported.

“If the U.S. and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow the North Korean regime, and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so,” reported the Global Times, a daily Chinese newspaper controlled by the Communist Party.

While the U.S. may not have China’s support, other Asia-Pacific nations have pledged to come to our defense.

Japan’s Defense Minister said their military could shoot down any missiles before they reached Guam.

Australia, meanwhile, described its alliance with the U.S. as being “joined at the hip,” according to the South China Morning Post.

“If there is an attack on the U.S., the Anzus Treaty would be invoked,” Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Australia’s 3AW radio, referring to the security agreement between Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S......snip~

Well coming from their Paper that is controlled by their government. We might want to take that into consideration. Of course once Lil Kim launches a missile at Guam, then China is going to stay out of it. Allow Lil Kim that ass whoopin he's got coming.

 

Lil Kim says Aug 21st thru the 31st. He will lob 4 missiles at Guam. He is setting things up now. Also, the missiles will have to fly over Southern Japan. Japan wants to shoot his missiles out of the sky. They say they can do it.

Once Lil Kim fires the first one.....China will be neutral and stay out of it, and lil Kim will only have himself to blame.

 

He's claiming he's not a north Korean sympathizer...yet he created an entire thread showing the positives of China and North Korea fighting our US soldiers. This is the new left wing. Pro-North Koreans.

 

Correct!

What obviously many here do not know is this FACT:

Since July 27, 1953, the United States and North Korea have been in the state of the armistice, and no peace treaty has yet been signed! What does that mean?

The United States and North Korea are therefore in status of war since 25 June 1951 (some days later after the attack from North Korea to South Korea), and since July 27, 1953 only the weapons are at rest, but the war is not over!

According to the applicable international law ... which were so also signed by the US and thus also fully valid according to US law ... this situation excludes any right to a preventive attack to the prevention of an opposing attack!
The reason is quite simple, because if you are already in the war, you can not begin a preventive attack. And since we have the status of an armistice, any first strike and attack would be a violation of the armistice agreement ... and so the attacker is the evil aggressor by law no matter which side is attacking.
The fact that North Korea is doing illegal missile tests and has nuclear weapons is not a legal reason for any attack until something is fired on US or allied stuff by NK!
That Kim is wildly threatening and, for example, proclaiming Guam bombarding or shooting missiles on the US West Coast is no legal reason for a violation of the cease-fire agreement! The US and its facilities and territories accessible to North Korea have been a planned target for NK weapons since 1953!

 

Nobody would want to invade this (NK) sh!thole.

Just a few B-1 bombers across it dropping heavy ordinance will be fine, for now.

 

NK has already started the war.

Only idiots cannot see it.

 

Iraq was a disaster. Millions of people fled. The EU thanks you for that. 100.000's of people got massacres. And all because you lot right wingers started a war with no plan. Not to mention trillions of tax dollars wasted. That you lot recent that China steps in to prevent a war, just shows you're as bloodthirsty as a bunch of ISIS members with a new batch of prisoners.

 

How many casualties, sir?

 

I have a great deal of sympathy for the North Korean people.
I feel zero animosity to these people. Just human empathy.
I don't think they are masters of their own fate. I think they are trapped in a scenario not of their own making. A victim of other peoples wars.

Once people start fighting US soldiers I shall most likely override that and want them dead.

If the US wishes to be the good guy, then they must wait to be attacked first.
If the US wishes to be the bad guy, then attack. Stop courting public opinion and do it.
But you are nancy boys. You want to be the baddest bad boys, but you still want to be loved and respected as mummy's little angels.

And the two don't go together.

 

Now the Aussies and Zeelanders have spoken up. Some bruthas from Down Unda. China speaks up for N Korea sort of. Now the Down Unda Crew tells China what takes place should they make a move on the US.

China wouldn't want to take on Japan, S Korea, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and start that domino effect.
