China 'needs more nuclear weapons to deal with Trump': Government mouthpiece newspaper says extra defence is required should US treat Beijing 'unacceptably'

Fake news. The east loves Trump.

Since a quarter of our debt is owed to China I am sure they'll have enough funds to build hundreds of nuclear weapons. Thanks Bush jr and Obama!

SENSITIVE Chinese , so utterly shameful and Poncy.

China has been building up its nuclear arsenal all through the Obama Presidency while we have been single handily dismantling ours. The ChiComms are scared that Trump will restore Americas military.

If China behaved acceptably I'm sure they would be treated acceptably.

what a strange relationship. We buy most of their crap yet we are a threat to them

With Russia friends with USA, China is all alone in the big world

We do not have to deal with China. Goods we cannot manufacture cheaply in the United States can be made in India or other countries, which would welcome and profit from dealing with us. Why do we deal with such an overtly passive-aggressive fat child like China anyway? The fat bully knows it is dependent on Western markets.

China can stick it! They will cease their illegal trade behaviors (hiding billions in aluminum in Mexico) and fly right or they will find themselves without a viable economy.

Buy our junk, or we will kill you. Great basis for negotiating trade.

At least Trump made a good move with the Branstad choice.

If they use their nuclear arms on the US, they can say good-bye to the US debt that they hold.

Rattling Beijing's cage. It's about time.

Globalist fear mongering. They just don't want their system, which is under threat, from being delay or destroyed.

Annnnd it begins.

Whatever.

Lol USA built China. USA wants a slice of the cake back, China throws nuclear tantrum. This is the DM however so take everything with a grain of salt

This was written BY the government to rile up the citizens. That's what they do in communist countries. There is no freedom of the press.

Perhaps Donald should have appointed Hillary as ambassador to China. They seem to really like her.

MacArthur was right should have zapped them back to the stone age when Mao was around !
