CHINA has scrambled another 25,000 troops to be militarised along the North Korean border as the country is put on nationwide alert amid heightened tensions between the hermit state and the West, according to reports.
All five regions military regions from China have been ordered by Beijing to maintain readiness for the possibility of conflict along their border with Kim Jong-uns kingdom, according to UPI.
Chinas armoured and mechanised infantry brigades in the Shandong, Zhejiang and Yunnan provinces have been given the go-ahead.
The troops being deployed from China to the Korean peninsula are from the 47th group army of the Ninth Armoured Brigade, the Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy.
China has already sent 150,000 troops to the North Korean border on Sunday, Taiwans China Post has claimed.
It comes after the US and South Korea conducted joint military exercises around the peninsula.
USS Carl Vinsons strike group has been deployed to the Korean peninsula in a show of force towards Pyongyang after the hermit nation has carried out a series of provocative missile launches and nuclear tests.
Chinese president Xi Jinping begged Donald Trump to pursue a peaceful resolution to the meltdown in the crisis during a phone call between the pair.
Despite the pleas, North Korea looks to set to detonate a nuclear device this week, according to the Voice of America.
The device is expected to set off the device on Saturday.
A National Security Council official said: We have no comment at this time but we will be watching closely.
Why would they do that after a,meeting g with Trump?
Hope the CIA is doing their job.
Trump had the meeting with Xi five days ago.
China is now poised to take action against North Korea.
Those on the forum who have literally trashed Trump non-stop since last week, think about this.
That’s some fairly decent negotiating.
Clinton, Bush, and Obama spent 24 years ignoring the problems with North Korea.
Trump has faced it in under 90 days. He got China on board, and it’s looking quite promising.
How about that.
ancient Chinese curse
And millions of people in Seoul are just going about their normal,lives.... ?
Dietary change from Tree Bark Soup, soon..?
Hope so..!
Kabuki theater for our benefit. Whatever Trump and Xi have decided to do about Nork is still on.
What are So Koreans doing ?
Freaking out or normal day ?
But, oh, nooooo.....!
Maybe Trump was working with the Chinese instead of the Ruskies all along. You know that is what the msm is going to say next. Then mccaniac will demand a senate investigation into Trump and China ties.
Bannon seemed to think war with China was inevitable, so in that, for now, he seems way off.
This administration has gotten a plateful of international affairs to look at. It’s a bit like the times of JFK.
We’ll see and pray,
I read one article that what peeves Kim so much, are the US/SK joint exercises.
I’m sure they are very concerned.
Fat boy is pissing of his masters in China. China doesn’t care if the Norks piss off America. They do however care if Kim bites the hand that feeds him. Perhaps what Trump told Xi last week was “either you rein him in or we will”. And China is preparing to take a chunk out of his ass. Time will tell.

Well for what it’s worth,
I live in Zhuhai, China. There’s nothing different. It’s just another day.
If you read the American media you get a really strange impression that is completely out of step with reality.
Just sayin’
Apologies for double-tap.

I think China has had it with the NORKs.
They might not want the chubby little pig stirring the pot while they advance power in the region.
