    Disputed but widely reported across the media...

    South Korea’s Chosun news agency reported that China has deployed about 150,000 troops to its border with Northern Korea preparing for some “unforeseen circumstances” as the US Navy’s Carl Vinson Strike Group is approaching the Korean Peninsula.

    Is meant to put pressure on Kim or force his hand into a preemptive strike? Who knows, but I think we might be about to find out how capable a force the North Korean military is or isn't.

    • The Norks could be a million strong army of bewildered, bow-legged cowards, it matters not. What does matter is all the artillery pointing at Seoul.detritus
    • All they need do is get a few shots off from each unit and a city will be levelled. It's sort of terrifying. I couldn't imagine living there.detritus
    • Yes. But living in the North must be hell on wheels right about now.monoboy
    • kim il podge must know he'd be committing suicide if he gave that order. the retribution would be total. he'd have to follow it up with an all-out attack.hans_glib
    • then again, he madhans_glib
    • Exactly. And don't forget the entire country is built around the doctrine of resisting an evil US oppressor and their glorious victory against it.monoboy
    • The fact that a US strike group is sailing towards them and we have threatening language from its president validates this thinking.monoboy
    • They must be hunkering down as we speak. It's not going to end well.monoboy
    • @mono "And don't forget the entire country is built around the doctrine of resisting an evil ..." which side are you talking about ;-)...mugwart

    • China joining the US in putting pressure on NK seems like Kim Jong-un's days are numbered.IRNlun6
    • ^ That'll bite hard.monoboy
    • Best case scenario, military coup. Folks must be willing to get shot of that dynasty and replace it with moderates so they can trade and feed people.monoboy
    • Lets just hope civilians will be all right. I fear something crazy could happend to lots of innocent people... on both side; North and/or South KBennn
    • I think one of these nights, a devastating missile strike will hit nuclear facilities. China will invade with the pretext of helping NK.IRNlun6
    • South Korea will then neighbors with China. Taiwan will officially gain it's independence.IRNlun6
    • Benn, you always state the obvious :D haha!chukkaphob
    • @RNlun6 *itschukkaphob
    • @RNlun6 can you please paraphrase? your grammar makes it difficult to understand what the hell you're talking about. LOLchukkaphob
    • Thanks for the China coal link, IRNlun6, very interesting.detritus
    • I doubt anything that drastic would happen IRNlun6. You think China wants the hassle of running North Korea?yuekit
    • I don't think Taiwan's going anywhere, nor would a strike on NorkNuke facilities accomplish much. That said, China has to do SOMETHING, SOMETIME.detritus
    • According to this the story is wrong. No China military build up on the border.yuekit
    • http://americanmilit…yuekit
    • Can someone please tell me why China cares about NK?formed
    • lol, my bad. I just think if an attack against NK were to occur that China would play a major part. They are after all a main reason the DMZ exists.IRNlun6
