As America turns its focus elsewhere, China has been rapidly building up its military to challenge us for world dominance. How can America rise to meet this threat?
From The Federalist. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is undertaking an unprecedented military buildup aimed at challenging America and its allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. And, like Nazi Germany’s buildup in the 1930s, the militarization program ordered by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t simply a great power buildup — it’s a weapon in service of a deadly ideology.
Connect with others in your state in prayer.
The 2024 Department of Defense China Military Power Report and recent analysis by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times reveal this buildup as part of a broader strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to position itself as a global superpower. …
Missile Expansion and Strategic Modernization
China has rapidly expanded the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) arsenal, adding, that we know of, some:
- 50 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of striking the continental U.S., for a cumulative total of 400. …
- More than 600 operational nuclear warheads, projected to surpass 1,000 by 2030. …
- China’s navy, already the largest in the world with 370 ships and submarines, is expected to grow to 435 by 2030.
Cognitive Warfare and Psychological Operations
Beyond its conventional forces, China’s adoption of “cognitive warfare” poses a significant threat. This doctrine focuses on manipulating information to undermine adversaries’ decision-making processes. Cognitive warfare features tactics right out of a sci-fi film, all enabled by powerful AI tools. For instance, deepfakes to mislead military and political leaders during crises and psychological warfare to demoralize U.S. troops and polarize society …
Questionable Timelines and Strategic Deception
The CCP’s stated military objectives include readiness for action against Taiwan by 2027, achieving strategic dominance by 2035, and fielding a world-class military by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the CCP’s victory over the Nationalists in China’s civil war. However, these timelines should be treated with skepticism. They are likely deliberate deceptions aimed at lulling adversaries into complacency or disguising China’s actual state of readiness. The pace of China’s missile expansion and cognitive warfare preparations suggests that Beijing’s capabilities likely exceed what is required for these projected milestones. …
America’s Fiscal Crisis and the Need for Budget Reform
While China accelerates its military growth, even as it faces what appears to be a weakening economy, the dire state of American finances threatens our national security. … To effectively counter China’s ambitions, the U.S. must rebuild its fleet, modernize its nuclear arsenal, expand missile defenses, and restore maritime lift capability. However, this cannot be achieved without serious budget reform and strategic cuts within the Pentagon itself. …
The Strategic Realignment Imperative
China’s military buildup and cognitive warfare strategy are clear indications of its intent to defeat the U.S. and its allies by any means necessary. Ignoring this threat or trusting Beijing’s stated timelines risks leaving the U.S. unprepared for a conflict that may arise sooner than anticipated.
To safeguard national security, the U.S. must adopt a strategy of fiscal discipline and targeted investment. Reallocating resources within the Pentagon to prioritize naval strength, nuclear deterrence, missile defense, and logistics will ensure the United States remains ready to meet the challenge posed by China. …

Lord, help U
Lord, Help US military and government officials remember that it is not by might, nor power but by your spirit. And a horse is a vain hope for deliverance. Despite all it’s mighty power it can not save. Please bring a deeper sense of conviction of sin and a more widespread, heart rending, humbling spirit of repentance!
We need to pray for China to run out of money like other Communistic countries.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your precious word, which provides and reminds us of Your mighty power. Psalm 24:1-3 The earth is the Lord’s, and [a]all it contains, the world, and those who live in it. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. 3 Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? The seas, the oceans, the rivers all under Your command, You establish their boundaries. You determine the path of lightning, possess the storehouse of snow and rain. You direct the paths of the winds. These things will not be contained by those who come against You. Strengthen the Christian body in China and align them with Your will. Show us now in the spiritual realm, what and how to pray over these things. You do not fight battles as man fights, but Your victory is Superior ALWAYS. Establish Your will here in the U.S. with those You have appointed and anointed. Protect us from taking the bait of the devil and instead, give us eyes to see and ears to hear as You instruct us in the way to proceed. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
In August of 2019 I woke up from a dream with the words, “Prepare for the CCP invasion.” At that time I didn’t know what CCP stood for and had to look it up. Not long after that, COVID appeared.
Father, give our leaders your wisdom in dealing with China. May we not sideline them in our minds but realize how dangerous they are to us and to the world. Thank you for what you are doing in our nation. Prepare us to be strong.
I am an American living in Kenya. From the first I saw China’s presence I heard in the Spirit invasion. They are building the railroad and highways not for the sake of Kenya but to have transport and power supply lines to move easily and quickly. Even the toll booths for expressway are in architecture reflecting China- not Africa. The profits go to China- not Kenya. The first overseas military base in Africa is in Djibouti- strait of Aidan- main access to Middle east oil fields.
Yes, Hannah – thank you for the heads-up from Kenya – and your first person point-of-view. China’s influence can look like harmless philanthropy, but it is anything but! They have global plans, none of which are harmless.
YHVH, we continue to trust Your Sovereign plans and purposes, that nothing outside the scope and timing of Your plan will be allowed. The government of China is evil, but Your people in China are precious. Bless them, and continue to cause the church in China to thrive and grow under the persecution they have endured for so long. Strengthen and encourage them, we pray!!
Lord, it is IMPERATIVE that the right people lead the Defense Department as well as the NAVY. These individuals MUST understand the DETAILS and BIG ISSUES of our military, especially the NAVY, have some understanding of military strategy and be open and able to deal with the constantly changing technology and the boldness to make big changes. Block those from assuming these roles who are unqualified. Bring to the top those that you have been preparing.
PRAY THAT AMERICANS WILL WAKE UP AS TO HOW THEY ARE SUPPORTING CHINA ON A DAILY BASES.. Pray against China purchasing Land in America it needs to STOP. China imports way too material products here in America.
Start by boycotting all products that come China, why should we assist them financially by purchasing any product in any form. When making a purchase find out where it is coming from. Purchase needed items from Thrift stores or research how you can get your need met. Is it really a need vs a want?!?
Please demand your Congressional representatives halt the purchase of land anywhere in America by Chinese and other nefarious interests immediately and require the immediate sale of land already purchased. If Americans cannot own land in foreign countries, then residents or agents of those countries should not be permitted to purchase land in America.
You are right about buying goods at thrift stores and yard sales. Especially tools, yard equipment, clothing, etc. The cost of new is bad enough now, and sales tax of 6 or 7% makes the cost of new worse. Especially since the awful supreme court extended sales tax to on line and mail order purchases, especially tax on clothing, shoes, and other necessities.
YHVH, we ask that You grant wisdom to those who have decision-making authority in regard to our military readiness, and that they would be humble and wise enough to seek it and heed it. Please also grant wisdom regarding the accompanying issues of budgetary constraints and realignment of resources. But we acknowledge that whether we are prepared or not, You are always prepared!! May our nation align with Your will and purposes for us. And we trust Your Sovereign and global, no even universal plan for redemption of those who would be heirs of salvation – Your primary goal is the Kingdom!
Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Lord Jesus, may You supply the resources that our military needs to stand up to China militarily. Give them the ability to comprehend that we will be soon installing a new commander in Chief who isn’t intimidated by their actions,, and will not put up with their aggressive actions. Please put a shield of protection around our nation, and protect us from any and all of China’s attempts to harm us. Thank you Jesus.
Brian, Americans have been indirectly funding the build up of the Chinese military over the past 25 years starting with democrat Bill Clinton signing free trade most favored nation treaties with communist China and the subsequent outsourcing of American manufacturing to China with the concurrence of subsequent administrations. The EPA carries much of the blame since American manufacturing cannot survive with the EPA running amok with regulations. There has to be a balance of regulation on industry to keep US jobs in America.
If you are old enough, in 1965 American manufacturing was at its best prior to the EPA taking a wrecking ball to coal, steel, chemical, and other American heavy industry. Meanwhile, there is no EPA in communist China, lots of cheap slave labor (i.e. coolies) and no industrial regulation. Billionaires in the USA outsource American jobs to China. Mexico, and elsewhere, and enrich themselves tax free. Unregulated China is like heroin to billionaires.
America needs to STOP the money flowing to communist China now with a minimum import duty of 120% of what it costs to make that chinese made item in the USA. Consumer package country of origin labeling must to be required on everything sold in the USA, especially medicines. The income tax rate on billionaires needs to go up (like 10 ** log (base 10) on taxable income derived from outsourcing). Follow the money, use duties to keep US dollars and jobs in America, close the EPA, and cut the addiction to China now! The USA also needs to replenish its military readiness.
One more comment: The only correct thing Biden did in his administration was to block the Nippon Steel takeover of the venerable US Steel works. A japanese company recently took over Dunlap Tires, closed its manufacturing plant in western NY, and threw 1500 employees out of work. Nippon Steel talked a big line about keeping manufacturing in America, but smiling faces tell lies. Mondelez took over Nabisco, Halls cough drops, and more; Oreo cookies are now made in mexico. Look on the package. Large monopolies need to be broken up.
