Report China Has Deployed 150,000 Troops To North Korea Border

[HAB911]

While the catalyst is unclear, it appears the market dropped as headlines of further sanctions against Russia appeared and reports of China deploiying 150,000 troops to its North Korea border.

According to Korean news agency Chosun, the "Chinese army has deployed about 150,000 troops to the North Korean border in two groups to prepare for unforeseen circumstances." The reason: the prospect of "military options", such as preemptive attacks on North Korea, like the one the United States launched on Syria.

I can't imagine the powers that be in Beijing want any part of a mass exodus a la Syria should things jump off.

[MineralMan]

8. Interesting. Perhaps that will give The Donald pause.

I hope so. However zerohedge is not the most reliable source on the planet, to understate madly.

[HAB911]

10. actually

I can't find any corroboration for the story, at least yet

[MineralMan]

11. I didn't bother to look.

I give zerohedge no credibility at all, frankly.

If it's a real story, it'll lead the evening news tonight, because it would be just that big a story.

12. Youknow, he skips his intelligence briefings, right?

If the First-lady and her other husband say they want it and the Orange Bloat thinks he'll get a one point poll boost, well... Damn, the torpedoes. We're going in.

Grab your rearward cheeks and hang on. This is going to get very ugly very fast.

[packman]

9. Maybe - just maybe

China is going to invade N. Korea and dispose that little munchkin.

[MineralMan]

13. Or, maybe the whole story is a pump and dump scheme.

Without corroboration, I'm going to skip this one.
