Would any country dared to have said that, even if felt insulted, during the presidency of Ronald Reagan?
There is a reason that for years, people voted Republican presidents, knowing they would be strong on foreign policy, and why they did NOT vote Democratic. Pity many voters of the last two elections forgot that.

A Chinese editorial criticized the U.S. military, according to The Washington Times.
“These U.S. warships roaming around here [in the East China Sea] are slowly being considered by us Chinese as our moving targets right in front of our eyes, and the [U.S.] bases in Okinawa as a whole are also no longer a big deal” to us, said an editorial printed in the Communist Party-owned Global Times.
“When facing China, these U.S. soldiers are really not worth anything,” the editorial said, according to The Washington Times. “If China and the U.S. were to start an all-out fight, these American Marines would be more like a marching band, charging with others, but with their musical instruments in hands.”
The editorial was a response to comments by a U.S. general, the Washington newspaper said.
