If you look at some videos of the cities and infrastructure that China has built in the last 10 years, it's hard NOT to come away with the idea that China is rising. And if China would like to control the world, and they would, there is a big roadblock standing in their way...USA.
Many of you may have known that China and the USA met for talks in Anchorage Alaska last week. According to the Chinese, they said "there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air." I guess that's their saying for suggesting that war is on their mind.
There was a "strong smell of gunpowder" when American and Chinese diplomats met in Anchorage beginning March 18. That's according to Zhao Lijian of China's foreign ministry, speaking just hours after the first day of U.S.-China talks concluded.
"Gunpowder" is one of those words Beijing uses when it wants others to know war is on its mind.
The term is, more worryingly, also especially emotion-packed, a word Chinese propagandists use when they want to rile mainland Chinese audiences by reminding them of foreign — British and white — exploitation of China in the Opium War period of the 19th century. China's Communist Party, therefore, is now trying to whip up nationalist sentiment, rallying the Chinese people, perhaps readying them for war.
More fundamentally, Beijing is, with the gunpowder reference and others, trying to divide the world along racial lines and form a global anti-white coalition.
There was more than just a whiff of gunpowder in Alaska. The foreign ministry's Zhao blamed the U.S. side for exceeding the agreed time limit for opening remarks from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Blinken and Sullivan overran their allotted four minutes by... 44 seconds.
The Party's Global Times called the two presentations "seriously overtime." The foreign ministry's Zhao said the overrun prompted the Chinese side to launch into its two presentations, which lasted 20 minutes and 23 seconds, well over their allotted four minutes.
Yang Jiechi, China's top diplomat, and his subordinate, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, were mostly reading from prepared texts, suggesting that much of their remarks — in reality a tirade — was planned well in advance.
There were, in addition to the diplomats' obviously rehearsed expressions of outrage and Zhao's incendiary comments, a third element to the campaign: a propaganda blast against policies Beijing said were racist. The primary target is America.
"Everything Washington talks about is centered on the U.S., and on white supremacy," the Global Times, controlled by the Party, stated in an editorial on March 19, referring to the darker skin tones of America's "few allies" in the region.
Furthermore, the race-based narrative appears in a series of recent Communist Party propaganda pieces indirectly portraying China as the protector of Asians in the U.S. For instance, the Global Times on March 18 ran a piece titled "Elite U.S. Groups Accomplices of Crimes Against Asian Americans."
Beijing has played the race card in North America for some years. China, for example has tried to divide Canada along racial lines. Lu Shaye, when he was Beijing's ambassador to Canada, railed against "Western egotism and white supremacy" in an unsuccessful attempt in early 2019 to win the immediate release of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, detained by Canadian authorities pending extradition proceedings instituted by the Trump Justice Department.
Significantly, Yang Jiechi in Anchorage pointedly mentioned Black Lives Matter protests in his opening remarks on Thursday, continuing China's race-based attack on America.
China's regime continues to talk about China's rise, but now Beijing's propaganda line is shifting in ominous ways. Ruler Xi Jinping's new narrative is that China is leading the "East." In a landmark speech he gave at the end of last year, he stated "the East is rising and the West is declining."
This theme evokes what Imperial Japan tried to do with its notorious Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, beginning in the 1930s, an attempt to unite Asians against whites.
Racial divisions bring us to Samuel Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. "In the post-Cold War world, the most important distinctions among peoples are not ideological, political, or economic," the late Harvard political scientist wrote. "They are cultural."

Funny how "racism" is the new word that is literally ruling the day. If you want to silence someone just suggest that they are racists, or that their thinking is racist. Then make all your school teachers attend "Critical Race Theory" seminars to educate them on how racist white people are and how everything in the USA and The West was built on racism.
If you say it enough, those same idea will creep into the church. And now we have various pastors of large congregations buying into "Critical Race Theory" and educating the congregations about how being white is a big part of the world's problems.
But back to China...yes, they want to throw out the white supremacy phrase and apply it to America. They also would love to collapse the US Dollar and come up with a new currency. A currency that is much less controlled by "white supremists in the USA".
"But Dennis, God would never allow China to take over America! God is only here to bless us! "God bless America" is a famous saying you know!"
Please remember that God used evil-empire-Babylon to judge His people the Israelites. God is never changing and America deserves judgment. We don't know if our cup of sin is full to the brim but if it's not, it has to be seriously close.
Our blessed hope is that Jesus is coming to snatch His bride away before all of this mayhem actually comes to pass. But if he doesn't come soon, our pastor suggested in yesterday's sermon that maybe America should be practicing for persecution. And we agree.
