From The Daily Caller:
“This isn’t a drill. Communist China will not invade Taiwan on President Trump’s watch,” Hegseth said. “Any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan by force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world.”
While Hegseth did not outline specific retaliatory steps, his speech marks the strongest U.S. statement yet under the Trump administration regarding Taiwan’s defense. His remarks come amid China’s ongoing military buildup and aggressive posture toward the self-governed island, which Beijing considers a breakaway province.
Secretary Hegseth also stresses that Asia is the Trump administration’s top priority. At the same time, he urged America’s Asian allies to “contribute more to their own defense” according to the Caller, citing “disproportionate European spending.”
Under President Biden, China repeated threatened Taiwan, prompting similar responses from the previous administration. The Trump administration, however seems to be upping the stakes.
As the whole world is focused on Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East, China is also preparing for a larger war. Let’s pray for peace in the pacific, and for strength for our leaders as they stand up to China!

Lord, cause Russia, China and North Korean to turn on one another. Let fear of war take hold of the Chinese people. Cloud the judgments of their industrial military leaders. Disrupt their ability to manufacture weapons. Cause the Chinese to loose information. Cause their satellites to fail. Cause the weather to turn against their navy. Sink their ships while they are in harbor.
Lord, wake up your people to the reality of the alliance between China, Russia and North Korea. Raise up bold leaders in Europe around which Europeans can rally. Strengthen their industrial military base. Strengthen their resolve. Strengthen their military. A powerful Europe will cause Russia to stand down.
Strengthen the Ukraine’s ingenuity. In the spiritual realm move powerfully against the Russian leadership. Frustrate their plans. Break apart their military industry. Throw their military leadership into confusion. Sweep the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans off Ukraine land. Throw a wall of protection around Ukraine military and their people. Turning the tide of war in Ukraine against their alliance will give China, Russia and North Korean reason to pause in their aggression. A Ukraine win will shake them to their foundations and cause them to doubt their military abilities and make them afraid of looking foolish.
Wake up MAGA. Wake up the Intercessors. If there is war, it is because they failed to line up with you but instead prayed their own agenda.
End the confusion in America. Give America leadership that is focused and wise. Give America leaders that are not deceived but can see into the heart of Russian, Chinese and North Korean leadership and understand their true motives. Sweep out all leadership that is focused on promoting themselves. Move forward military leaders who are filled with knowledge of military strategy and who are so bold and powerful that they intimidate Russia and China. Remove those that lack the maturity to lead. Strengthen America’s military industry. Let the resources and leadership come quickly together. Strengthen our ability to manufacture naval ships. Strengthen our ability to manufacture hypersonic missiles quickly and in large numbers. Since there is no time for the “Golden Dome’ to be built, throw the Russia and China missile capability into confusion and raise up wise leaders that can put together a strategy using our present technology.
May the Holy Spirit continue to move even more mightily in both PRC China & Taiwan, & prevent the aggression!
May secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth have wisdom and clarity from God, direction, Grace to understand what our previous commitments to the welfare of Taiwan are and how to uphold what those commitments mean. May he stand in the gap for Taiwan through prayer for direction according to God‘s will for America and Taiwan. The Bible says that “God governs in the affairs of man.”. I ask for your government to be revealed Lord on behalf of the people of Taiwan in our responsibilities to be dictated by you.
It is very obvious that China is trying to take over the world (just like the Islamists are also) unless some entity (such as the U.S.) stands squarely in its way. There is NO hope in negotiations with them. They will Lie, lie, lie!
YHVH, we yield up to You this major concern in Asia. Chinese aggression toward Taiwan and beyond is a possibility, and has long been threatened. We pray that nothing beyond the scope and timing of Your divine will be allowed. We lift up our precious brothers and sisters in both China and Taiwan. May they be salt and light to penetrate their nations with the unadulterated Gospel – for You will that none perish, but all come to eternal life. May whosoever will come.
Go in any store and look at the product label showing the country of manufacture. Virtually all products are made in China. Buyers of chinese made products are funding China’s military build up. Pres. Trump must tariff all chinese made poor quality products heavily to bring manufacturing back to US soil. I support higher income tax rates on the wealthy to discourage wealthy decision makers from importing slave labor products to be sold to Americans and profiting off blood money. Cut off the money to China now and stop the build up of its military using American dollars. Request your law makers in Congress to require country of origin labeling of ALL products sold in the United States, especially medicines.
