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."

@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.
