China is getting ready to support DPRK in case of World War III, expert believes

Almaty. December 7. Silkroadnews - China is getting ready to support the DPRK in case of the World War 3, military expert Li Jie believes, British “Express” reports.
“CHINA has started preparing its military to support North Korea if World War 3 breaks out with the US, a military expert revealed,” the report said.
It is reported that the People’s Liberation Army of China is conducting military exercises on the Korean border in preparation for a possible beginning of war between the United States and North Korea.
“The fear of war between the two countries has risen over the past several months after China’s neighbor carried out a number of illegal missile tests and threatened to target the US territory of Guam with a nuclear missile,” the publication reads.
China as reacted angrily.
“The nation’s state-run Global Times said: “We can neither persuade Pyongyang nor sway the opinion of Washington. When tensions on the Korean Peninsula reach a new height, a large portion of the pressure is transferred to China. But the US and North Korea must shoulder their own responsibility without making China the scapegoat. The only thing China can do next is to firmly uphold its principles, strive to alleviate tensions while at the same time preparing for the worst. Beijing is fully prepared to use its prowess to defend its national interest. China owes no one anything, and other countries must know this,” the agency wrote.
For a long time it was believed that China’s loyalty to North Korea was based on fear of a refugees crisis that may emerge in case of North Korea’s state destruction.
