All PLA Generals are very disciplined and they know what they are talking about.
To let a General to deliver this kind of message would be simply too harsh for the relationship between China and US.
A Colonel's words don't have enough weight, so a Major General would be the most suitable to do this job.
Actually this would showcase China's generals as being media mongs. Its the only reason I can think of why one would so cavalierly speak of plunging the world into nuclear war and guaranteeing general destruction for their own nation.
It's obvious the general was either never in the position to give any such order, or never seriously considered the scenario.
