PROPHECY: COULD CHINA INVADE US

We’ve had articles on those who for years have felt (in a prophetic sense) that the U.S. will one day be “invaded” by China. It has been a common theme in alleged locutions since the early 1990s, if in fact there is validity to such locutions. Our take on this “impression” (especially visions of actual army hordes of Chinese, dressed in black) has been that they’re symbolic; given our defense capability, an actual army invasion, at least at the present time, is, of course, impossible.

But indeed: what about metaphors?

China is well on its way to becoming a power equal to the U.S., if not greater. Just last week, Forbes Magazine rated Hu Jintao — leader of China — as the most powerful person in the world – one place above President Obama! (The Pope came in fifth.)

Technologically, the Chinese are swiftly catching up to us as far as their space program and technology. They recently built the world’s fastest computer, and Asian students — already in prominence within U.S. technological circles — lead the world in mathematical scores. As The Washington Times commented, “The atrophying U.S. space program suggests that America will be forced to cooperate with China in space, or else cede the high frontier of space to China altogether.

That does not sit well with the Pentagon, which is alarmed by the prospect. Its chief of U.S. Strategic Command, General Kevin Chilton, told reporters back a year ago: ‘With regard to China’s [space] capabilities, I think anyone who’s familiar with this business … would have to be absolutely amazed at the advancement that China has made in such a short period of time, whether that be in their unmanned program or the manned program.’” China is expected to be on the moon within ten years.’”

When it does come to actual military might, China — at 3.5 million soldiers — has the world’s largest army (compared to America’s 2.5 million), with the obvious capability of recruiting many more.  Let’s make clear that there are many wonderful Chinese — the majority. These are good, simple, diligent people, for the main part. But we cannot ignore the predominance of a totalitarian regime that is atheistic (or at best agnostic).

In an economic sense, there already are major incursions.
