War with the US under Donald Trump is “not just a slogan” and becoming a “practical reality”, a senior Chinese military official has said.

The remarks were published on the People’s Liberation Army website, apparently in response to the aggressive rhetoric towards China from America's new administration.

They communicated a view from inside the Central Military Commission, which has overall authority of China’s armed forces.

Quoted in the South China Morning Post, the official from the Commission’s Defence Mobilisation Department wrote: “A war ‘within the president’s term’ or ‘war breaking out tonight’ are not just slogans, they are becoming a practical reality.”

15. They'll be getting bigger very soon. At the least there is now a boycott US movement in Mexico. . nt

2. Awesome

With a military as large as theirs.... I fear it will go nuclear.

3. Here is a practical solution then.

Trump shuts the fuck up over Taiwan and China stops dicking around in the South China Sea with trying to claim areas that arent even fucking close to China? Everyone wins then.

16. Not practical, not the least because China won't stop, no matter who is President. . . nt

4. Oh for fucks sake

I gotta get off of DU before the news makes my head explode. There is literally a crisis a minute under OrangeHitler.

8. that's what my husband said when I opened my laptop

he knows I'm checking DU - "you're just gonna get more angry!". So right.

5. Just what the fundies ordered

A nuclear war to end all wars. So that finally, after prediction after prediction ie. The Late Great Planet Earth, never came about, they will at long last have their promised Armagendan. And just before the worst of it, they and all their fellow Christians/Trumpians will start floating off the ground and then fly up to heaven where they can smirk and laugh at the poor fools below that didn't pick the right religion (or candidate).

In other words, the closer to another world war we get the more giddy this brainwashed segment will get. Add them to the other group of Trumpeteers, the hard core militarists that just want to see 'merica blow shit up and Houston we have a problem.

12. I hate these people more every passing day.

I do not want armageddon. I do not want to see it ever come to light. I do not even want the possibility of it mentioned. The lunatics have been let out of the asylum. We have to stop them at all costs. I do not want any part of their "religion" or their end times cult.

6. Damn this sounds scary...

The last thing we need is bombs being dropped in our cities.. especially since China owns the Atomic bomb as well. Maybe even the Hydrogen Bomb.

[n2doc]

14. They've had H-bombs for a long time

17. And like Russia Proved....

They can get hella bigger than the one dropped on Hiroshima during WWII.

[Bayard]

7. Next comes the Terminators

But this is all just scary as hell. Will this guy be happy once whoever is left alive has to live underground? Does he realize there will be no twitter?

9. We don't need no stinkin Republican Draft Dodgers starting more wars

[Initech]

10. Impeach. NOW!!!!

Throw that whole damn administration in jail before its' too late!! And throw Ryan and McConnell in there as well!

[tenorly]

13. If only!

It would take a military coup if not an outright alien invasion. These Rethugs have the run of the country now.

[triron]

18. Please come aliens!

[tenorly]

19. And come collect your bad apples.

Please, and thank you.

[Old Vet]

11. Great, Fuck with the biggest army in the world.....

The Chinese don't have time for fucking around, Just see how serious they are when we play around with there new islands.

20. I Know It's Fun...

to imagine the day when the U.S. is defeated on the battlefield but... ...no. You, going by your screen name, should know better than this. The US Navy has blue water navel warfare experience and collective memory older the the U.S. itself. It would be a really bad day for China if they chose that fight. Their ground forces, owing only to superior numbers, would probably fare no better than a stalemate. If they decided to go nuclear, they would cease to exist. The statements are red meat for local consumption. Unfortunately I don't know if our great leader has the ability suss that out for himself.
