While the specter of a nuclear war with North Korea has faded in recent weeks, China is not taking chances, and ahead of the Winter Olympics in South Korea, the Chinese government has deployed 300,000 troops and multiple mobile strike groups to its highly-guarded border with North Korea, a move which signals that Beijing is quietly gearing for a potential crisis between Kim Jong Un and the United States in the coming months.
According to South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo news, “China is preparing for a potential war on the Korean Peninsula by reinforcing missile defenses near the border with North Korea” citing a report from Radio Free Asia. “Military units in Yanbian were relocated from Heilongjiang Province, thus adding 300,000 troops along the border.”
RFA quoted a North Korean source in China that the Chinese military late last year deployed another missile defense battery at an armored division in Helong, west of Longjing in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Now it is deploying missile defense batteries near North Korean reservoirs by the Apnok and Duman rivers.
The reason for the increased missile presence is that Chinese troops in the border area could be swept away if the North tore down the banks of the reservoirs or they were destroyed by missiles or air strikes, the source added.
On Jan. 24, Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported that the 78th Group Army, the first Chinese military unit that would cross the border into the North in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula, has been armed with newest surface-to-air missiles against South Korean and U.S. aircraft and missiles.
The reported deployment comes just days before the start of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea.
What is peculiar about this escalation is that it comes as Kim Jong Un’s regime has – at least optically – attempted to “thaw” relations with Seoul, wishing the South Korean government a “successful” competition and hoping to “ease military tensions” before the games begin. In a rare case of Korean unity, both North and South Korea plan to march into the Opening Ceremonies under a “united Korean flag” and will combine their female hockey teams.
Meanwhile, Trump has been busy pushing his domestic agenda to engage in Twitter bickering and comparing nuclear button size with Kim Jong-Un, allowing tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations to ease in recent weeks, although if China knows something, this tentative detente will not last long.
I think the USA military industrial complex just may have gotten too big for their britches. I think they have met their match. If they continue it may be their Waterloo.
I really don’t think US forces are going to go head to head with the Chinese on this one. I suspect we will back up South Korea if they ask. ROKs are very capable and much better fed, equipped , and motivated than the North.
You and all here know there is much more to War than raw numbers of troops in todays world.
Rellik, IF the SKs are attacked we are obligated by treaty to come to their aid. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
300K Chinese are at the border to prevent NK refugees from spilling over from the bombardment of US Psychopathic Military freaks that thinks all problems are solved with bombing the Country into compliance. Just look at how many countries the US has dropped bombs on in the last 30 years in undeclared wars of aggression. Our Government are are pack of nutjobs. And look at how many low IQ US Military personnel brainwashed nutjobs still think they are defending America and our flag.
Notice how the US Military hijacked the NFL Superbowl and turned it into their propaganda tool for recruitment of more braindead low IQ imbeciles to fight their corporate fascists wars. Its pathethic what our own country has turned into. Always seek the truth folks good or bad.
Those chi-coms are there to fight south Korean and American soldiers in NK, not to aid NK civilians. I am sure that the 150,000 chi-coms in Nuevo Leorado in Mexico will be ready to invade Texas from the south. Good luck with that coming here. You chi-coms do not know white men very well. Don’t fuck with white men.
HCKS.
HCKS, you tell them like it is.
HCKS is on the loose again! Chinese in Mexico!
Well either the Chinese have decided to walk to the Olympics or they sure as hell are proving their old curse, “may you live in interesting times”. NK’s Un is running out of time. Beware the cornered dog and the Ides of March (bad pun, with 300K on the hoof as is). I’d not be surprised at any party favors L’il Kim Jong [a sound like a constipated water buffalo] might happen to bring to the Games.
Logistics. Who is feeding and fueling them?
GTFOOH
They must be living on 2 tacos a day.
2018, CHINESE eating tacos? Now that’s a new one on me.
I just bet a lot of them are sitting around killing time playing Chinese Checkers.
Kevin2, I was wondering if this an extra 300000 on top of the 150000 they deployed on that same border late last year? Whichever number it is, the Chinese are planning on something VERY BIG.
Beats me but their certainly not at some hidden base in Mexico.
I don’t think China moving troops internally has the significance that something similar would have in the US. China routinely uses its military in civic projects like a National Guard on steroids. 300K is large by any standards but the population centers are in the coastal areas. Calling up 300K when there are 700 million close by isn’t as alarming as it appears on the surface. 300k could likely walk there from their home.
China has already denied this large troop deployment. This is MSM propaganda.
The MIC is fiending for something huge to break out here. Don’t believe the hype.
I just need another 100k rounds to be successful against the 300k Chicoms.
And a few Claymores for good measure.
The Chinese supposedly deployed 150000 troops to that same border back in October or November? Is this an extra 300000? If so that would bring the grand total to 450000 troops. No one deploys that many troops anywhere without having some very serious plans in mind.
I am going to tell you guys again. I have had 3 credible cop sources of officers, who are in close contact with high level city level government types that have confirmed this to me in person. One of the sources was really concerned I told him to let all cops that he knows in person to spread the info. One of them, now a cop was combat soldier in Afganistan, who told me in person 3 years ago, that in exactly 8 years, which makes it now 5 years that China will have to capability of mounting a mass invasion without help from Russia, literally bank on our shores, invading from Canada, Northern Colorado, with the 500,000 that they brought in under the traitor what Sarge refers to as obullshit. Dr James Garrow has talked about this in many interviews, warned us that china is going to invade us and that they have troops in the US. Kevin2, you like to fly off your mouth about logistics. Don’t underestimate militaries of Super powers when it comes to logistics of feeding soldiers..WW2 hitler walked into France and took it over. That the 1940’s, what makes you think that advanced nuclear super powers like china and Russia cant invade us from Mexico. One injured soldier from Afganistan who just recently got released form being shot 3 times, once is his ankle, his chest and abdomen, this guy who I was introduced to over 1 1/2 years ago told me that when china decides to invade the US, that if they crippled us at sea, and took out our navy, that we are in really extremely deep shit. Kevin 2, with nothing to back up your opinion, because that must be what it is, you call bullshit on this topic. A military base was given to china in California, this is a fact of life right now and it public knowledge, but your going t call bullshit on that. Leland Yee, the well known chi-com senator, got busted smuggling fully automatic AK’s and shoulder fired rocket launchers, by the shit loads into cali, finally got his ass caught. The chi-com mayor in California calling for full disarmament. Who is this prick working for? Like Brave said, look at the numbers, first 150,000 then 300,000. The chi-com president told his soldiers that they are going to war, and to get ready and do not fear death. Zi, your soldiers may not fear death, but they will fucking die on my soil. Deployment of US soldiers fighting on foreign lands is one thing. US soldiers and patriots fighting invading armies is recipe for a MASSIVE FUCKING DISASTER FOR YOUR SOLDIER WHEN THEY COME HERE. Go suck mao z dungs cock.
HCKS.
“china and Russia cant invade us from Mexico”
They have to stage. It took the US two years for Normandy in a country that did everything possible to host them.
” A military base was given to china in California, this is a fact of life right now and it public knowledge, but your going t call bullshit on that”
Your past delusional.
Supreme ChiCom leader did tell his troops to prepare for war. He was wearing fatigues.
I can’t see them going to war. If we don’t buy Chinese shit, they have no economy.
War is bad for business. They know it. We know it.
North Korea has the world largest Submarine Fleet in the world. 400 Subs. They run on deisel fuel though. And may have the capability to launch missiles. Where do they all get refueled? Some maybe by floating super tankers.
Remember the milk cows the germans had ????
“WW2 hitler walked into France and took it over. That the 1940’s, what makes you think that advanced nuclear super powers like china and Russia cant invade us from Mexico.”
Germany is next to France. If China was where Mexico is that would be a problem. The US could’t invade Europe from here requiring staging in England. England invited / hosted the US presence.
GTFOOH
There aint no Chinese troops in Mexico. Hicks have you seen them with your very own eyes?
Trump wants a military parade, what a big freaking joke. A nation of decent people led by a bunch of murderous morons. Fukushima 40 year containment effort plan already declared a failure. Northwest US in direct path of ongoing tragedy. Present rads condemn America and the world to a quick extinction.
A Military parade in Wash DC is a big mistake. A parade could turn into a military coup against Trump with the CIA’s help. Anwar Sadat was murdered during a parade. Imagine what an Abrams A1A could do to a presidential booth on the side of a parade route. Beware of any military parade in DC. The Pentagon dept of logistics can’t find $800 million worth of computer equipment during their current Trump Audit. And this Government expect us to keep paying taxes to support this BS? Not me. And Trump wants to increase the military budget up to $70 0billion annually. FUBAR!!

Let that occur and the entire world would be on red alert. The global financial system would come crashing down and the probability of war between superpowers would be highly likely.
⛳️
Chinese are coming here like everyone else, illegally. Can’t a Chinese dream? You racist!
????♂️??
Trump shall surely get what he’s looking for.
The end for the american blood thirsty DEMONZ is here.
They are there to intimidate the US. If we go to war with NK we will create a no fly zone so many miles south of the border that will be a safe zone for the NK army to hide in. We will fly east west bombing runs so we do not over fly the Chinese, Recall the bridges at Toko Ri You can bomb the south end but not the north end of the bridges and only flying east west. The Chinese will possibly occupy NK to prevent US retaliation for some outrageous action by NK Kim the mouse will make faces protected by the Chinese dragoon
