China 'Not Afraid' of War After U.S. Ship Sails in Disputed Area: Paper

BEIJING — A state-run Chinese newspaper has claimed the country is "not afraid to fight a war" with the U.S.

"In face of the U.S. harassment, Beijing should deal with Washington tactfully and prepare for the worst," according to the editorial in the Global Times, which came just a day after an American destroyer sailed into disputed waters in an open challenge to Beijing. The newspaper is known to represent the more extreme and nationalistic views of China's political establishment.
