China is planning for a crisis along the North Korean border!

BEIJING, China (PNN) - July 25, 2017 - Despite Chinese officials reassurance that "military means shouldn’t be an option," China has been bolstering defenses along its 880-mile frontier with North Korea and realigning forces in surrounding regions to prepare for a potential crisis across their border, including the possibility of a Fascist Police States of Amerika military strike. While all eyes in Amerika are once again distracted by Russia-related narratives and the dismal GOP efforts to replace, repeal, re-who-knows-what ObamaCare, the threat of North Korea has not gone away, and neither has China's preparations. As Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump stepped up the rhetoric, pressuring China to do more to solve the North Korean problem, and threatening military action to halt Kim Jong-un's nuclear weapons program ambitions, it is clear that China has used this crisis to not just prepare for potential problems with North Korea but to reinforce military forces elsewhere.

A review of official military and government websites and interviews with experts who have studied the preparations show that
Beijing has implemented many of the changes in recent months after initiating them last year.

Recent measures include establishing a new border defense brigade, 24-hour video surveillance of the mountainous frontier backed by aerial drones, and bunkers to protect against nuclear and chemical blasts, according to the websites.

China’s military has also merged, moved and modernized other units in border regions and released details of recent drills there with special forces, airborne troops, and other units that could be sent into North Korea in a crisis.

They include a live-fire drill in June by helicopter gunships and one in July by an armored infantry unit recently transferred from eastern China and equipped with new weaponry.

China’s Defense Ministry didn’t respond directly when asked if the recent changes were connected to North Korea, saying only in a written statement that its forces “maintain a normal state of combat readiness and training” on the border.

Beijing also appears to be enhancing its capability to seize North Korean nuclear sites and occupy a swath of the country’s northern territory if FPSA or South Korean forces start to advance toward the Chinese border. That would require a much larger Chinese operation than just sealing the border, with special forces and airborne troops likely entering first to secure nuclear sites, followed by armored ground forces with air cover, pushing deep into North Korea. It could also bring Chinese and U.S. forces face to face on the peninsula for the first time since the war there ended in 1953 with an armistice - an added complication for the Trump regime as it weighs options for dealing with North Korea.

China has long worried that economic collapse in North Korea could cause a refugee crisis, bring FPSA forces to its borders, and create a united, democratic and pro-Amerikan Korea. China’s fears of a FPSA military intervention have risen since January, as Pyongyang has test-fired several missiles, including one capable of reaching Alaska. In a notably outspoken article written in May, retired Maj. General Wang Haiyun, a former military attaché to Moscow now attached to several Chinese think tanks, made his view clear (while carefully noting he did not speak for the PLA).

China should “draw a red line” for the (FPSA). If it attacks North Korea without Chinese approval, Beijing would have to intervene militarily.

China should demand that any FPSA military attack result in no nuclear contamination, no FPSA occupation of areas north of the current “demarcation line” between North and South, and no regime hostile to China established in the North.

If war breaks out, China should without hesitation occupy northern parts of North Korea, take control of North Korean nuclear facilities, and demarcate safe areas to stop a wave of refugees and disbanded soldiers from entering China’s northeast.

Beijing’s interests “now clearly extend beyond the refugee issue” to encompass nuclear safety and the peninsula’s long-term future, said Oriana Skylar Mastro, an assistant professor at Georgetown University who has studied China’s planning for a North Korean crisis.

“China’s leaders need to make sure that whatever happens with (North Korea), the result supports China’s regional power aspirations and does not help the (FPSA) extend or prolong its influence,” Mastro said.

In other words, China may appear to be preparing for a North Korean crisis, but is really building its capabilities should President Trump decide the time is right for more international distractions.
