"China has officially put the United States on notice that Washington’s planned attack on Pakistan will be interpreted as an act of aggression against Beijing. This blunt warning represents the first known strategic ultimatum received by the United States in half a century, going back to Soviet warnings during the Berlin crisis of 1958-1961, and indicates the grave danger of general war growing out of the US-Pakistan confrontation.

“Any Attack on Pakistan Would be Construed as an Attack on China”

China warns US against war with Pakistan | EUTimes.net

What is there to add?.. When the US will finally be cut down to size it will be remembered as the gratest agressor the world ever known.

Not much of a warning. Someone might even take it seriously if the Chinese had an actual strategic arsenal with first strike capability, which they don't. Chinese threats to our security are overblown and designed for a local/regional audience. In any case China's warning should have just about the same effect on US foreign policy as former Soviet threats. Somewhere between little and none.
