My Way News - Energy prices fuel US-China strains
AP reports: "Looming in the background to these and other discussions about U.S. competition with China is the prospect of armed conflict - if not over China's demand for the return of Taiwan, then over energy resources. China has invested greatly in modernizing its military in recent years, although its budget - even by the Pentagon's high-end estimate - is hardly one-quarter what the U.S. spends on defense."

Comment: Bible prophecy foretells a time (Rev 16:12) when military powers from the east of Israel will invade. What could prompt such an invasion? If other military powers have been humbled or destroyed and no longer control that strategic area, perhaps China and India will believe that their time to control the Middle East has arrived?
