The US Admiral who is head of the Indo-Pacific command has warned the Congress that China is preparing for war as the US is losing its edge over the Chinese military.

Testifying for the Senate Armed Services Committee, Admiral Philip Davidson, warned against an increasing “imbalance” in the region brought on by China’s rapid military advance.

Davidson described how the imbalance was creating a growing risk that may embolden China to unilaterally change the status quo before US forces may be able to deliver an effective response.

He said, “I cannot for the life of me understand some of the capabilities that they’re putting in the field, unless it is an aggressive posture.”

China announced last week it will increase its defense budget by 6.8 percent in 2022, allocating $208.6 billion to their defense budget – a move that has concerned U.S. lawmakers and defense officials.

The Admiral also said that by 2025, China will be able to deploy three aircraft carriers, and he expressed concern surrounding the imminent threat China’s aggressive behavior poses for Taiwan.

China has condemned international objections to its aggressive behavior against Taiwan, maintaining the island is its territory. Although Taiwan and the U.S. view the nation as independent from China.

Davidson also warned that China is rapidly building its nuclear stockpiles, telling lawmakers that if China continues to go unchecked in its nuclear development they will surpass the U.S.

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21) foretell that there will be wars and rumors of wars signaling the world is nearing the end of this age.
