China has told its service personnel “not to fire the first shot” as Beijing looks to de-escalate tensions with the United States in the South China Sea, sources familiar with the situation told the South China Morning Post. Both sides have stepped up their operations in the disputed waters, increasing the risk of incidents that spiral out of control, but Beijing does not want to give American hawks the opportunity to escalate things further. The sources said Beijing had ordered pilots and naval officers to exercise restraint in the increasingly frequent stand-offs with US planes and warships.

Beijing does not want to give American hawks the opportunity to escalate things further.
What sort of BS is this? A paid advertisement by Perking Inc?
Ya and all the while they are making a move on a small island off the coast of Taiwan.
They are trying the poor me thing in the meantime. The big bad USA is picking on us.
Lying bastards.
BTW..on youtube, the Epoch Times has good news on these bastards. I dont care if they are funded by the Falon Gong or whatever the name is. Its up to date news and they know what the hell is going on within Red China and how the CCP is falling apart.
“A paid advertisement by Perking Inc?”
You pretty much nailed it.
Didn’t realize it was the So China Morning Post. You are correct. It was a really excellent newspaper, sort of a cross between the Wall Street Journal and the Times of London. Now it is just a Peking Inc megaphone.
Why would they want a shooting war before they see if their virus and their bought and owned Democrat fifth column can do the job for them?
Hey, well, that’s really, really, really, really great because we’ve all seen you can trust a Chinese Communist all the time, and I really, really hate that FR wants us to advise when our posts are satirical or ironic.
I guess they are not that stupid. If they fire on an Arleigh Burke class destroyer they definitely will regret it.
Do you suppose the more exact translation is:
Do not let them catch you firing the first shot.
DON’T trust but still verify
I always love the way Chinese represent themselves as being so studied and steeped it ancient customs and wisdom, but I would bet there is a Confucius saying that goes something like this “Don't frack with the Americans, the Japanese tried it and it did not turn out well!”.
Yes, there is a new ADMIRAL IN CHARGE of the US Navy, formerly the Queens Navy under Obama/Mabus, and his name is TRUMP.
His naval slogan is, like John Paul Jones, “Don’t F*ck With Us”.
BTT
They infected, then flew how many infected people here. I cant remember the number, but it is more than you would think.
Then they go to war on multiple border countries.
The wuhan virus, we helped finance was the first shot.
Meanwhile our troops are not fighting fit as they sit in quarantine all around the workd for 14 days. Including basic trainees.
And in the middle are the globalists war gaming this scenario months before it happened.
We are being played.
I thought he actually said something else, but hey, it works for me.
Our military is riddled with Obama-era drones and turncoats like Vindemann.
All it takes is one loose cannon.
Truth.
I think his quotes were only partially made public.
“I have not yet begun to fight! {So don’t f with us!}”
“I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm’s way. {So don’t f with us!}”
“I may sink, but I’ll be damned if I strike! {So don’t f with us!}”
