Taiwan News (TN) tweeted (see above) that Taiwan’s “Defense minister says China could launch ‘full-scale invasion’ of Taiwan by 2025.”
This tweet followed a series of recent aerial incursions by the Peoples Republic of China (PRC).
CNBC reported the following;
October 6, 2021
Beijing’s military activity near Taiwan is a warning to the U.S. and Taiwan against deepening their relations, said an analyst from risk consultancy Eurasia Group.
Taiwan reported increasing breaches of its air defense zone by Chinese warplanes in recent days. The island said there were 148 Chinese air force planes in the southern and southwestern part of the zone in the four days since Friday — when China marked its National Day. …
The ruling Chinese Communist Party in Beijing claims Taiwan, a democratic self-ruled island, as a runaway province that must be reunited with the mainland — by force if necessary. The CCP has never controlled Taiwan.
“Our analysis is that they’re less provocations designed to lead toward some kind of conflict, and much more a signaling device that Beijing uses to warn both Taipei and Washington — as well as other western capitals — from deepening their ties with each other and from crossing Beijing’s red lines,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” Wednesday.
Those red lines include Taiwan’s declaration of independence or the U.S. changing its “one China” policy in which it doesn’t take a position on Taiwanese statehood, added Thomas. …
The U.S. has no official diplomatic ties with Taiwan, but relations between the two sides have grown closer in the last few years. That’s angered China, which considers Taiwan to have no rights to conduct its own diplomacy on the global stage. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/06/china-military-activity-near-taiwan-ups-military-accident-risks-eurasia.html
The German press reported the following:
6 October 2021
Joe Biden …The US president said he had spoken to his Chinese counterpart over the issue of Taiwan. Taipei has expressed grievances over China’s recent incursions into its air defense zone, adding that it fears an invasion.Taiwan’s Defence Minister on Wednesday said tensions with Beijing are the worst they have been in more than 40 years. Chiu Kuo-cheng also warned that China would be capable of launching a full-scale invasion by 2025.
China claims Taiwan as its own territory, which should be taken by force if necessary. Taiwan, on the other hand, says it is an independent country and will defend its freedoms and democracy.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan is set to meet Chinese foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi in Switzerland on Wednesday. https://www.dw.com/en/joe-biden-says-xi-jinping-is-committed-to-taiwan-agreement/a-59418922
The PRC is testing Joe Biden while also warning Taiwan that it has the military power to take it over.
And it does have the military ability to do so.
Some feel that the PRC does not think that the USA would provide enough military assistance to stop it from taking over Taiwan if it ever chose to do so militarily.
During the Afghanistan debacle in August, the Protestant Harbinger Daily posted the following:
The Myth Of U.S. Invincibility Has Now Been Completely Shattered
August 16, 2021
Beijing announced their intentions of having a friendly, amicable relationship with the Taliban, which took over Afghanistan over the weekend in light of the US withdrawal from that nation. State-run media reports that the disaster in Afghanistan should be a warning to Taiwan that the US will not help them should China seek to overtake the island.
Chinese state-run media outlet Global Times reported that “From what happened in Afghanistan, those in Taiwan should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits, the island’s defense will collapse in hours and US military won’t come to help.”
“As a result,” Global Times writes, “the DPP will quickly surrender.” …
The editorial in the Global Times cautions that “How Washington abandoned the Kabul regime particularly shocked some in Asia, including the island of Taiwan. Taiwan is the region that relies on the protection of the US the most in Asia, and the island’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have made Taiwan go further and further down this abnormal path. The situation in Afghanistan suddenly saw a radical change after the country was abandoned by the US. And Washington just left despite the worsening situation in Kabul. Is this some kind of omen of Taiwan’s future fate?”
In July, Chinese state media published their plans for an invasion of Taiwan. The Chinese state-controlled magazine “Naval and Merchant Ships” detailed a three-stage plan to invade Taiwan, involving ballistic missiles, fighter jet attacks, and amphibious landings on Taiwan’s beaches.
The US is an ally of of Taiwan, though China repeatedly condemns those who recognize Taiwan as an independent nation. They went so far as to demand that NBC correct a map they broadcast during the Tokyo that did not show Taiwan as part of China.
The US and Taiwan have had a defensive pact since March 3, 1955, and relations between the two nations have subsequently been governed by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act.
Xi Jinping said during a recent speech celebrating 100 years of communism in China, that “Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China’s complete reunification is a historic mission and an unshakable commitment of the Communist Party of China.” https://harbingersdaily.com/china-uses-afghan-crisis-to-warn-taiwan-us-military-wont-come-to-help/
The USA is NOT invulnerable and its loss in Afghanistan has sent a disturbing message to many of its allies.
That being said, Taiwan will end up aligning with China.
That has been my position for years based on biblical prophecies such as the following:
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. (Revelation 16:12)
Perhaps it should be mentioned that instead of “kings of the east,” that part of Revelation 16:12 is more literally, “kings of the sunrise”:
12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way might be prepared of the kings of the rising of the sun. (Revelation 16:12, Berean Literal Bible)
12 The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrise. (Revelation 16:12, New Heart English Bible)
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial into the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared. (Revelation 16:12, Jubilee Bible 2000)
12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might by made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising. (Revelation 16:12, American Standard Version)
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon that great river Euphrates; and dried up the water thereof, that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun. (Revelation 16:12, Douay-Rheims Bible)
12 And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready; (Revelation 16:12, Young’s Literal Translation)
Taiwan is even further east, an earlier ‘sunrise’ location, than China.
Plus, China is clear that it wants Taiwan.
A couple of years ago, its top leader “Xi Jinping said Taiwan ‘must and will be’ reunited with China.”
Its recent military actions show that it may be willing to use military means.
Plus, fear is a powerful motivator.
Does this mean Taiwan must be attacked and taken over by 2025?
No.
While that could happen, what may be more likely is that after the USA is conquered (Daniel 11:39), those in Taiwan are likely to attempt to make a deal with the PRC–a deal that will make Taiwan formally part of the PRC.
Taiwan will NOT be able to rely on the USA for anything too many years from now as we are getting closer to the end of the USA and the start of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22; watch also Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?).
Despite what its current leaders may say, Taiwan will align with the PRC.
