Just the state barking. All of them do it. Just look at how much "preparing for War" the Empire of Amurika does.

Am I the only one seeing a refference to Japan there about the island, the relation are still pretty messy.


And if they go to war .... it will start a chain reaction.

China don't have any ambition or any purpose on expending their territory unlike Russia, their only purpose is to regaining their motherland glory from economy perspective.

China has far too much to lose (we all do) if they were to engage in a major war. I would be really surprise din the next thirty years to see two G-20 nations go to war with one another.

The worst thing that China could do is go to war with western allies. Everyone would cut the payments on their lowns. It would be disastrous to them.

Did you really read the article. It most likely means more of Xi's anti-corruption purges, which is a good thing.

China isn´t going to attack the US, neither will the US attack China. It is just some powertalk within 2 weeks not a single person will remind the fact that XI said this. In case of an attack the US would be screwed considering the bureaucracy the US/NATO have before they can do anything, by that time Europe and the US are already burning.

A war between NK, Russia China and the NATO would not end well for the NATO.

None of the big countries would benefit from going to war. All these nations are way to dependent on each other nowadays.

THIS. Though you never know... Backstabbing happens in the U.N and international affairs as often as it happens in high school.

The global powers are simply too interconnected with their economies to risk a full fledge war with each other. Look at what the simple sanctions are doing to Russia's economy right now. If the world powers went to war, everyone in Asia (including Russia), the middle East, and Eastern Europe would be screwed.
