US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is spreading warnings to Eastern Europe about China:
August 13, 2020
Mike Pompeo has warned eastern Europe that the threat of China is in “some ways” worse than the threat posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, in a bid to persuade more US allies to shut out Chinese firms like Huawei.
Speaking on a visit to Prague, the Czech Republic on Wednesday the US Secretary of State said: “What’s happening now isn’t Cold War 2.0. The challenge of resisting the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] threat is in some ways worse.
“The CCP is already enmeshed in our economies, in our politics, in our societies in ways the Soviet Union never was.”
Pompeo’s suggestion that Beijing poses a greater threat today than the Soviet Union did in second half of the 20th century was striking given that the Czech Republic was controlled by oppressive Soviet forces for over four decades. https://www.businessinsider.com/pompeo-tells-eastern-european-countries-reject-huawei-china-some-ways-worse-than-soviets-2020-8
“In your country alone, we see influence campaigns against your politicians and security forces, the theft of industrial data, and the use of economic leverage to stifle freedom itself,” he said.
As an example, Pompeo cited the cancellation of a concert tour by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra in China last year because of Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib’s pro-Taiwan policies.
“The CCP leverages economic power to coerce countries,” Pompeo said. …
Pompeo will travel to Slovenia’s capital of Ljubljana on Thursday, followed by stops in Austria and Poland. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/12/pompeo-chinese-threat-may-be-worse-than-cold-war-communism-394350
China is a much stronger economic power than the old Soviet Union was.
Some worry that World War III (WIII) is about to start between the USA and China and that China will dominate the world.
The old Radio Church of God published the following over 60 years ago:
Some think this union of China and Russia and their allies will ultimately attack the United States. Is this idea right? (Hoeh H. Red China Plans … Plain Truth, December, 1959, p. 22)
So is WWIII about to start between the US and China?
No.
What could be called World War III will be an attack by the coming European Beast power against the US and its allies of the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance. That alliance consists of the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The first three are likely to be directly defeated by the Beast, whereas the latter two by China, with possible Russian involvement. Also, it is my view that Russia will play an ancillary role in the defeat of at least the US, and probably also Canada, and perhaps others of the Five Eyes.
The Obama Administration had major concerns about China and made its ‘Asian pivot’ a decade or so ago, to try to block expanded Chinese influence. In many ways, however, that was not effective.
That being said, China is not prophesied to dominate the world in the next decade or so. The Bible prophesies the re-emergence of Europe (Revelation 13:1-10).
The focus of the USA on China, without sufficiently being concerned about what the Bible prophecies about Europe will be ruinous for the USA as the USA is prophesied to be destroyed by “friends” (cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).
However, a few years later, the Bible also shows that Europe will be defeated. And that defeat will involve powers such as Russia and China.
As far as China’s increasing influence, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together several videos on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel Here is one on a subject most of the media in the USA has paid little attention to:
China’s Silk Road and Babylon the Great
China has been embarking on a multi-trillion dollar project to build roads and ports to connect more of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe to it. This has been called the ‘Belt and Road Initiative,’ Silk Road Project, Silk Road 2.0, and the One Belt, One Road Initiative. While this is expected to benefit Chinese trade (as well as provide infrastructure for the gathering at Armageddon), could this also benefit the rise of Babylon the Great foretold in the Book of Revelation and scriptures in the Old Testament? What about the proposed Polar Silk Road? Will the benefits to Europe last or will the end time ‘daughter of Babylon’ possibly face invasion from nations involved with the Silk Road project? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues with scriptures from the Bible.
Here is a link to our video: China’s Silk Road and Babylon the Great. Yes, some of what China is doing is setting the stage for Europe to dominate trade by building infrastructure that will also benefit European trade.
Bible prophecy shows that a European power will be instrumental in the taking over of the USA, Canada, and the UK, consistent with prophecies such as Daniel 8:24-25, 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-12, 17:3. This will remove all Anglo-American protection from Australia and New Zealand. The European power is prophesied to divide up lands that it conquers (Daniel 11:39; see also Will the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?), which will benefit places such as Russia and China.
Yet, this arrangement will not last as places like Russia and China will eventually feel betrayed by the European Beast power and take action against the European King of the North (Daniel 11:44-45).
And yes, then I suspect we will see Chinese military power being used against Europe as China will take advantage of its ports and other projects related to it Belt and Road Initiative–yes, some of what China is doing will lead to Armageddon.
Related to that, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
10:49
China is working on something known as the ‘Silk Road’ project or the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. NBC reports that China intends to spend one trillion dollars to build roads, bridges, railroads, and maritime facilities to reach from China to Europe and China to the Middle East. Over 60 nations, including Russia, are involved with this. Could this Silk Road project possibly produce thoroughfares that could be used by troops that will amass at Armageddon? Dr. Thiel discusses this project and some of its potential prophetic ramifications in this video.
Here is a link to our video: Is China paving roads to Armageddon?
Now, for more on China, we made a sermon that is on our ContinuingCOG channel:
Where did the Chinese people come from? Is there evidence that the Chinese peoples must have known about various accounts in the Book of Genesis up until their dispersion after the Tower of Babel? What do Chinese writings and characters help show? What about the Garden of Eden, Noah’s Flood, and the Tower of Babel? When did Christianity first come to China? What about the Apostle Thomas? Did Confucius say anything to get the Chinese to possibly consider Christianity? Is there early evidence that they observed the seventh day sabbath? What about the Ten Commandments? What type of Church of God witness has there been to China? What has been happening with China that ties it together with prophecies in Revelation? What about the 200 million man army and Armageddon? What about the Belt and Road Initiative and end time Babylon the Great? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to the sermon: China’s biblical past and prophetic actions.
China is making moves. Relations between it and the USA have worsened.
Furthermore, USA influence around the world is in a state of decline.
That will not end well for the USA (Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-12), nor its British-descended allies (Daniel 8:24-25, Isaiah 17:3)–in particular, Australia and probably New Zealand (Isaiah 49:12).
