Since the U.S. is not a leader of the world in the biblical account of the end-times, this article should be of great concern to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina is fully engaged in a multi-front war against the United States. This &#8220;unrestricted warfare&#8221; against America has several dimensions: technological, space, military, political, economic, digital, psychological, informational and diplomatic. In fact, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) openly declared a &#8220;people&#8217;s war&#8221; against the US in a May 14, 2019 edition of the People&#8217;s Daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe CCP, led by Chinese President Xi Jinping, has, over the years, by espionage, intellectual property theft, hacking, spying and militarizing artificial islands, initiated a bitter conflict between China and the US. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina also has more than 28,000 migrants who have illegally crossed the US southern border \u2013 many clean-cut men of military age, unaccompanied by family, who show up in groups. One cannot just leave China the way one leaves the US. It is difficult, therefore, not to suspect that these men have been sent by the CCP as sleeper cell saboteurs, waiting to inflict small but deadly strikes on American infrastructure, such as electric grids, airports, water reservoirs, communications towers, bridges, tunnels, shopping malls, apartment complexes, and so forth\u201d (Gatestone Institute, December 20, 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I highly recommend you read the entire article at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/20238\/china-unrestricted-warfare\">https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/20238\/china-unrestricted-warfare<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an excellent recent article for Gatestone Institute, Lawrence Franklin, who was on staff with former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and a high-ranking officer in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, wrote about China\u2019s current threat to the United States.
