Chairman Mao boasted in the 1960's of an army of two hundred million men. Bible students have for decades suspected that the two hundred million man army would undoubtedly be from China. No other nation on earth could accomplish that feat. The link between China's soldiers and the powers from the Euphrates region poses an interesting subject for speculation. Today's sophisticated weaponry of jets, missiles, tanks, plus high-tech warfare tools as spy satellites, reconnaissance planes, aircraft carriers, and more, hardly leaves any place for conventional ground warfare of this magnitude.
China is historically aggressive.
China has already demonstrated to the world its eagerness to act swiftly in matters pertaining to political upheavals among its neighbors. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam, have all felt Beijing breathing down their necks over the years. China strongly desires to maintain and expand dominance in the Asian community. The Gulf War, however, taught them a painful lesson about what happens when modern warfare is waged against outdated weaponry such as theirs. China has conducted Nuclear Testing more recently than the other superpowers, and is anxious to flex its muscles to assert its presence in the region.
