Report: China Considers Bombing North Korean Nuclear Sites

North Korea is the most isolated and oppressive country in the world, with few allies willing to support them on the world stage. While the rogue regime frequently tries to provoke the world by firing missiles near their neighbors, the communist regime of China continues to support North Korea.

China is one of the few nations willing to support the weak North Korean economy and impoverished people, but that may be changing. The communist regime just send a message to North Korea that should put everyone on high alert.

In a dramatic shift in policy that could seriously change future events, China has suggested it would bomb North Korea if it crosses their so-called “bottom line.” They even threatened North Korea’s nuclear program.

From The Daily Caller:

China warns the North’s nuclear activities must not jeopardize northeastern China. If North Korea negatively impacts China with its illicit nuclear activities, the latter will respond with force, a Global Times editorial published on the news service for the Chinese military stressed.

“China has a bottom line that it will protect at all costs, that is, the security and stability of northeast China,” the report stated. “If the bottom line is touched, China will employ all means available including the military means to strike back … By that time, it is not an issue of discussion whether China acquiesces in the US’ blows, but the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will launch attacks [on] DPRK nuclear facilities on its own.”

The northeastern provinces of Liaoning and Jilin border North Korea. Together with Heilongjiang Province, the three provinces make up the Shenyang Military Region.

“We all know that the DPRK’s sixth nuclear test is imminent, and various parties, especially China, are generally worried about this,” the editorial commented.

China’s comments came on the heels of the communist regime turning around North Korean ships full of coal without purchasing any of the resources:

Following repeated missile tests that drew international criticism, China banned all imports of North Korean coal on Feb. 26, cutting off the country’s most important export product.

To curb coal traffic between the two countries, China’s customs department issued an official order on April 7 telling trading companies to return their North Korean coal cargoes, said three trading sources with direct knowledge of the order.

Last week, President Donald J. Trump told Chinese President Xi Jiping that the two nations can improve relations, specifically regarding trade, only if China “solve[s] the North Korean problem!”

It is unknown whether or not China’s new tough talk on North Korea is in response to President Trump’s comments, but having China aligned with us in taking on the rogue regime would be a major advancement in solving the North Korean “problem.”

North Korea’s continued testing of missiles cannot be tolerated, and it is a positive sign to see China refusing to tolerate such rogue actions.

Do you think China should bomb North Korea if it continues to test missiles? How should the United States involve itself in this situation? Share your thoughts below!
