US Warns China at Asia Security Forum

BANGKOK — At Asia’s largest security forum, China found itself on the defensive with top officials from several countries, including the United States, Japan and Vietnam, calling on Beijing to moderate its behavior amid maritime territorial disputes in the region.

China was the target of unusually blunt remarks from the U.S. defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, who spoke of a modern world with no boundaries and great opportunities but also “great threats.”

Hagel, in a public speech at a conference in Singapore, noted “China has undertaken destabilizing, unilateral actions asserting its claims in the South China Sea.”

“The United States will not look the other way when fundamental principles of the international order are being challenged. We will uphold those principals,” he said.

The United States, as Hagel reiterated, takes no stance on the merits of rivals’ territorial claims in the disputed waters…

Japan’s defense minister, Itsunori Onodera, in his speech to the Singapore conference called for dialogue with China on territorial disputes in the East China Sea…

Vietnam’s defense minister, speaking of a regional trust deficit, reiterated his government’s demand for China to remove an oil rig from disputed waters. http://www.voanews.com/content/us-hagel-asia/1926636.html

China was not pleased and one of its officials made some comments of his own:

Major General Zhu Chenghu told The Wall Street Journal that the charges of destabilizing actions by China were “groundless” and that “the Americans are making very, very important strategic mistakes right now” in their approach to dealing with China. Gen. Zhu, who is a professor at China’s National Defense University, accused Mr. Hagel of hypocrisy in his assessment of the region’s security landscape, suggesting that in his view “whatever the Chinese do is illegal, and whatever the Americans do is right.”

The “Chinese are not so stupid” as to believe that Washington wants to work with China, or that the U.S. government is truly neutral when it comes to territorial disputes between China and American allies, he said.

“If you take China as an enemy, China will absolutely become the enemy of the U.S.,” he warned.

Gen. Zhu’s comments were echoed during a spirited question and answer session following Mr. Hagel’s speech. Major General Yao Yunzhu of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army questioned America’s repeated claim that it doesn’t take sides in territorial disputes, asking how that can be true when the U.S. also claims that disputed islands in the East China Sea are covered by a U.S. treaty with Japan.

She said the fact that the U.S. claims its defense treaties cover disputed matters amounts to a “threat of force, coercion or intimidation.” http://online.wsj.com/articles/asian-u-s-military-chiefs-raise-criticism-of-china-1401542106?tesla=y&mg=reno64-wsj&url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303633604579595803041693222.html

The USA itself is more and more being called hypocritical. This is of prophetic importance because the Bible (KJV) in Isaiah 10:6 says that punishment will come to “an hypocritical nation” (called “a deceitful nation” in the DRB).

Right now, more and more Asian nations are concerned about China and its long term plans and hope that they can rely on the USA. Although that will work for a time, once they realize that the USA cannot be relied upon, however, most will be willing to cooperate more with China as the Bible tells of an end-time alliance between those it calls the “kings of the east” (Revelation 16:12) or more literally “kings of the sunrise”–and that would include such nations as China, Japan, and Korea.

China will not be taken over by the USA. Instead, it is quite likely that China may have a role in taking over some of the USA’s allies, not only in some territories in Asia, but perhaps Australia and New Zealand themselves.
