Another Western MSM fail: China did NOT threaten the US with war in the South China Sea

An editorial in The Global Times – an English language website owned and run by The People’s Daily, which is the official newspaper of China’s ruling Communist Party – is being widely reported around the world as a threat to go to war with the US over the South China Sea.  Examples of the way in which this editorial is being reported can be found in The Guardian.
This is a complete misunderstanding of what the editorial said.
