that Chinese media warns of war with US re the South China Sea.
Seems to be a red letter day in the colonies today. We're moving en masse to Poland and neighboring countries, and China is barking up our tree. I hereby excuse anyone who wants to over-react.
China and Russia, simultaneously... Stuff of nightmares with the added fun of Donald Trump as the one who'll be dealing with it.
This is surreal.
@Lash,
The more moderate, official response to Tillerson's idiocy:
Quote:Chinese foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang paraphrased some of Tillerson's other remarks, saying: "China and the U.S. have some differences but also share a lot of common interests and consensus, and we should see the positive dimensions in our relationship rather than let disagreements over other issues exclude areas for productive partnership."
NBC News story
@InfraBlue,
Thank you! I prefer the NBC version. What exactly is going on over at CNN?
@Lash,
Well, to their credit, CNN refers to The Global Times as, "a provocative but state-sanctioned tabloid" and that "it's known for its hawkish and colorfully-worded editorials but analysts say it doesn't necessarily reflect Chinese policy" in
their online story about the situation.
Relax. One must have faith in America.
