“The past few days have been filled with shocks in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which is getting increasingly unpredictable before our eyes…. The conflict itself seems to have gone from being a powder keg to becoming a nuclear reactor, due to certain forces which have been fanning war flames,” Global Times warned in an Oct. 10 editorial.
The editorial evidenced the anger in China over U.S. continued policy of war:
The Chinese daily suggested that Biden’s “radical rhetoric” about a nuclear Armageddon could be viewed as a “preemptive strike in public opinion toward Russia, or as a trial balloon to test the tipping point of Russia’s tolerance in the face of provocation. That’s what the US does, as it is so used to being a bully — provoke to the limit, and then hold the other side responsible for whether the tension will become a crisis.”
