China Ready For War With US

[theshadowknows]

We're completely isolated in the world now. Its because of that I think the gloves have came off. Beijing thinks we're weak.
 

China has warned the US it is ready to fight "any type" of war after hitting back against President Donald Trump's mounting trade tariffs.
The world's top two economies have edged closer to a trade war after Trump slapped more tariffs on all Chinese goods. China quickly retaliated imposing 10-15% tariffs on US farm products.
 
"If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end," China's embassy said on X, reposting a line from a government statement on Tuesday.
 
It is some of the strongest rhetoric so far from China since Trump became president and comes as leaders gathered in Beijing for the annual National People's Congress.

Further quote for context:

The New York Times: The United States has imposed further 10 percent tariffs on most goods from China. What is your reaction?

Lin Jian: I believe you’ve noticed the statements released by competent Chinese departments. The fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to raise U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. China has made clear its opposition more than once. Our countermeasures to defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate and necessary.

The U.S., not anyone else, is responsible for the fentanyl crisis inside the U.S. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards the American people, we have taken robust steps to assist the U.S. in dealing with the issue. This is obvious to all and people from various sectors in the U.S. have expressed thanks to China on multiple occasions. Instead of recognizing our efforts, the U.S. has sought to vilify and shift the blame to China, and is seeking to pressure and blackmail China with tariff hikes. They’ve been punishing us for helping them. This is not going to solve the U.S.’s problem and will undermine our counternarcotics dialogue and cooperation. 

Let me reiterate that intimidation does not scare us. Bullying does not work on us. Pressuring, coercion or threats are not the right way of dealing with China. Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong guy and miscalculating. If the U.S. truly wants to solve the fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China on the basis of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit to address each other’s concerns. If the U.S. has other agenda in mind and if war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end. We urge the U.S. to stop being domineering and return to the right track of dialogue and cooperation at an early date.

Haha nice to see them playing tough. A hint: if you have to make a specific point that intimidation doesn't scare you, then you can be intimidated.

I have, in many ats threads, for years said we are in a Cold War with China.

they hold almost a trillion dollars in our debt. They dump that we are screwed.

we need to return to economic solvency fast!

if trump manages that we are in a better position, if he screws it up, we are truly screwed.

They have also been buying land next to our bases. A swarm of inexpensive drones with explosives launched from these properties would be devastating.

almost all our medicine comes from China.

i could go on, but Basically we have been setting ourselves up for major problems should war break out. Very stupid policies. Hope no war breaks out.

China is the globalist wet dream, with their social credit score, surveillance system to make the US look backwards (thankfully) and controls on what you can say and where you can go.  The Davos set of the world would love for the pesky liberty-minded USA to be wiped out and China to lead a global government.

Trump's fast and fiery response to China's 'bring it on'.
