China making global strides, but will not take over the world

Chinese Submarine (Yuan-class SSK)

Some who overstate China’s economic potential, realize it will not takeover the world militarily:

China may have the planet’s second largest economy. But the Chinese are not going to rule the world.

Yes, China is the second largest economy in the world, and will one day be the biggest. With the largest population on the planet this is not so extraordinary. But the US economy is still more than twice as big as China’s, and on a per capita basis America’s is 12 times bigger.

Yes, China has been pouring money into its armed forces, and has become the dominant military power in Asia. But its navy cannot fight a war, or even sustain a significant presence more than 300 miles from Chinese shores (and it would certainly lose any maritime engagement with the Japanese navy.) China does not have a single foreign military base. Nor does it have any military allies, besides North Korea. http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/Book-Reviews/2013/0731/China-Goes-Global

China will overtake the United States as the world’s singular superpower. This is the conclusion of a 39-country survey of public opinion conducted by the Pew Research Center. Reading this piece of news, some Chinese have responded with excitement, others with doubts.

According to this survey, a majority of the public in 23 out of the 39 countries, including both China and the United States, believe that China has already or is going to replace the U.S. as the planet’s No. 1 superpower.

So has China really become the world’s greatest force? I’m afraid not. Militarily, America currently has 11 aircraft carriers compared to China’s one, which happens to be only a training vessel, not fit for actual combat service…

Whether, and when, China becomes a superpower depends on whether and when China becomes a complete power. Until then, it’s too early to draw any definitive conclusion. http://www.worldcrunch.com/business-finance/why-china-is-still-no-superpower/china-usa-economy-superpower-confucius/c2s12860/

Let me clearly state that according to Bible prophecy, China will have an end-time militaristic role, but is not destined to rule the world either economically nor militarily.

It is true that the USA has problems with its economic model and will not stay on top. But, because of social and other issues in China, it is not destined to lead the world economically.

China itself is becoming a military distraction for the USA (USA dropped inert bombs in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef; Preparing for a war with China?) and others. While its theoretical threat appears carnally valid, the reality is that neither China nor Russia, of themselves, are prophesied to takeover the USA.

As I have written in the past, partially because of increasing Chinese naval and other military influence, the USA will apparently expend so much energy preparing for military possibilities involving China that it will not be prepared for what is coming out of Europe.

A video of possible interest may be Will Will USA Spying Help the Beast Power? Various allegations have surfaced about the United States government spying on its own citizens as well as its supposed allies in the European Union. Whether or not all the espionage allegations are true, and the main ones have not been publicly denied by the government of the USA, the reality is that this does have prophetic ramifications and will help the Beast of Revelation. This video provides quotes from the Bible showing how this is so. The USA is placing itself in a position to be taken over and its response to the allegations will make it easier for the Europeans to do so.
