China warns Barack Obama, while top USA Army official claims that USA and China have common military objectives

Two seemingly conflicting reports about the USA and China were in the news today:

February 21, 2014

Chinese officials warned President Barack Obama on Friday that his meeting with the Dalai Lama would “interfere with the internal affairs of China.”

“By arranging a meeting between the President and the Dalai Lama, the U.S. side will grossly interfere in the internal affairs of China, seriously violate norms governing international relations and severely impair China-U.S. relations,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement, CNN reports. Obama is meeting Friday with the Dalai Lama, who China considers to be a separatist fueling unrest in Tibet…

“The United States recognizes Tibet to be a part of the People’s Republic of China and we do not support Tibetan independence,” said National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden. http://world.time.com/2014/02/21/barack-obama-dalai-lama-china-tibet/

The U.S. Army’s top officer pledged more dialogue on “common objectives” as he met Chinese generals in Beijing.

Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno was greeted Friday with full military honors at China’s Defense Ministry.

His visit comes amid U.S. criticism of China’s policies toward its neighbors over territorial claims in the East and South China Seas.

However, before holding closed-door meetings, Odierno said he would focus on concerns that both sides share.

“We have many common objectives about our countries so I think it’s important to have this kind of dialogue. We both have incredibly professional armies so I look forward to the substantive discussions that we will have on both regional and international issues,” said Odierno…

One senior U.S. Navy official last week said Beijing was preparing for a “short, sharp war” with Japan during which it would seize disputed islands. Pentagon officials on Thursday distanced themselves from the comments, saying Captain James Fanell was expressing his personal views.

Many in China, meanwhile, view the White House’s military and economic focus on Asia as an attempt to contain its rise and regional influence – a charge U.S. officials deny. http://www.voanews.com/content/top-us-army-officer-we-have-common-objectives-with-china/1856136.html

It is disappointing that a country like the USA, which had its own war for independence for less reasons than the Tibetans who want peaceful independence, will not at least publicly state it is in favor of freedom for those in Tibet. But the USA appears to be more worried about offending the Chinese than to stand for freedom. Not that I am advocating that the USA engage in actual war over this, but if the USA is the bastion of freedom and ‘defender of democracy’ as it wishes to see itself, then not supporting what the Tibetan people want is in contradiction to that, and also hypocritical. The Bible warns that a particular hypocritical nation will be destroyed (Isaiah 10:6, KJV), and I believe that the Bible further identifies this nation as being associated with the USA (see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel and/or watch Where are the Ten Lost Tribes? Why does it matter?). I believe that the USA is lying when its officials state that the White House’s military and economic focus on Asia as NOT an attempt to contain its rise and regional influence. The Chinese see through this hypocrisy.

The reality is that USA is hoping to avoid military conflict with China, while also preparing for it.

There should be no doubt that China hopes to develop a more powerful military. However, just because they want to do this, does not mean that China will be a successful as it wants to be, at least not yet. But what is happening is that the USA itself is so concerned about China that it has declared that it will shift military spending towards issues related to Asia (see USA’s Biden rejects China’ fly zone requirements and confirms plan for more focus on Asia-Pacific) and away from the level of support it has had in Europe. This will force the Europeans to develop more of their own military technology, much to the destruction of the USA. The USA considers the continental Europeans to be friends (though it only considers the nations of Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand as ‘close friends), and the Bible warns that ‘friends’ will turn against them (Lamentations 1:1-2).

USA military experts have already stated that the USA is losing (if it has not already lost it) its ability to fight multiple front wars against serious enemies. This means that the USA has concluded that it needs to better guess where its major military threat will come from, and prepare accordingly. Yet, if USA leaders understood biblical prophecy, then they would prepare for a war against Europe (cf. Daniel 11:39;m Isaiah 10:5-11). But because they really do not, they are more and more concluding that they must prepare for war/containment of China, and instead trust the Europeans too much.

This will not end well for the USA as Europe will defeat it.

Because the government of the USA has discounted biblical prophecy, it seems to think that China (along with Russia) is the biggest threat militarily and is taking steps towards China that will get it to not realize the real threat that it faces. China’s moves and statement will likely continue to get more leaders in the USA to fear China and embrace Europe–to their peril (cf. Isaiah 3:12; 9:16; Daniel 11:39)–the Bible teaches that ‘friends’ will turn against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies (Lamentations 1:1-2).
