sounds to me like a cold war-era soviet-style
saber-rattling.
anyway, only one general is making that comment, and he's a hawk,
so it's kinda expected of this sort of hardcore hardliner. his
comments alone probably doesn't represent the stand the whole
Chinese government is taking. Maybe he has a personal grudge
against the US. Times are changing n he's still stuck in those
ossified cold war thinking. omg. even those foreign ministry
officials are not giving comments because they dont want to be
associated with him.... lol
