They also stated that they would intervene if the US tried to change the regime in the hermit kingdom;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> In an editorial, The Global Times said China should make it clear to both sides: &#8220;when their actions jeopardize China&#8217;s interests, China will respond with a firm hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten U.S. soil first and the U.S. retaliates, China will stay neutral,&#8221; it added. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Global Times warning comes at the end of a week of threat and counter-threat between Washington and Pyongyang, and as the United States weighs up its options to deal with the threat of North Korea&#8217;s nuclear and missile program.<\/p>\n<p>The Global Times said both sides were engaging in a &#8220;reckless game&#8221; that runs the risk of descending into a real war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The article claims that the Chinese aren&#8217;t all that happy that there are nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula, but that ship has sailed. Too bad they didn&#8217;t grow <em>cojones<\/em> a decade or so ago when they could have intervened and prevented North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. Now they&#8217;re just closing the barn door after the horses got out. President Bush tried to get the Chinese to have a regional solution to the nuclear problem, and they kicked the can down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/115th-congress\/house-bill\/669\">Congress<\/a> thinks that this is Constitutional;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=73923\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-73923\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HR-669-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-73923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HR-669-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HR-669-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HR-669-463x333.jpg 463w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HR-669.jpg 1309w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that the Global Times published a warning from China that they would &hellip; <a title=\"China warns on North Korea\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73922\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">China warns on North Korea<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-north-korea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/56833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
