“WAR on the Korean Peninsula might break out anytime between now and March next year,” a senior former official in China’s military has warned.
The Global Times, the English-language outlet of the Beijing government mouthpiece People’s Daily China, reports Lieutenant General Wang Gongguang warning of the need to be ‘mentally prepared for it anytime’.
“China should be psychologically prepared for a potential Korean War, and the Northeast China regions should be mobilised for that,” he says.

Once war erupts, South Korea will be the most damaged, followed by China, Wang said, adding that there will be a huge risk of being exposed to nuclear contamination and earthquakes.
“Such mobilisation is not to launch a war, but for defensive purposes,” he said.
The Global Times reported ‘military expert and TV commentator’ Song Zhongping as adding there needed to be preparations for refugees and any ‘spillover’ of conflict.
“Defensive action could lead to engagement if US action on the Korean Peninsula threatens China’s core interests,” the publication quotes Song as saying.
And that!

Not sure why its so specific of between now and March?

Its getting real folks and now Kim has ICBM`s, most of us could be in danger.
this seems very logical if they actually have enough armoured mobile ballistics that could get past the border. It will be a tic tac toe race!

I don't know if it's connected, but the Koreas are very dependent on rice. Rice grows in paddies. You can't move 40 feet (it seems) up in the Western Corridor (northern South Korea) without stepping in a rice paddy, a canal, or a road.
Winter is invasion season and all the paddies are frozen (drained) and armor has the best maneuverability.
March should begin the monsoon season which means several months of rain and no chance of getting the armor across that area.
Just my guess at least.
