The U.S. strikes on Iran didn’t just make America and Israel safer. They also, according to a recent Epoch Times article, sent a strong message to China.

From The Epoch Times:

Retired U.S. Navy Capt. Stu Cvrk, in an op-ed for The Epoch Times, said the CCP’s “long-term interests” were damaged by the conflict. He noted the Chinese regime’s extensive investments in Iran, including its early aid to Tehran’s nuclear program and its massive consumption of Iranian crude oil.

Cai Shenkun, an overseas Chinese independent commentator, told The Epoch Times that the decision by President Donald Trump to launch a surgical strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was not intended just to set back its nuclear program, but also to send a message to other governments with anti-U.S. leanings.

…

He added that Trump’s willingness to aid Israel raises the possibility that his administration might not stand idle if the Chinese regime attempts to take Taiwan by force.

If Beijing were to “start a war in the Taiwan Strait, the United States could provide Taiwan with decapitation-strike weapons,“ he said, noting that ”CCP officials fear decapitation strikes the most.”

The Times also highlighted the usage of bunker-busting bombs, weapons President Trump used to take out nuclear facilities buried deep underground. Should China sufficiently provoke the U.S., these same bombs could spell disaster for the Chinese army:

Wu Jialong, an overseas Chinese commentator who focuses on analysis of economics and current events, told The Epoch Times that Israel’s strikes, plus the unprecedented American use of its heavy bunker-busting bombs to target the Iranian nuclear facilities, located 80 meters underground, has indirectly put the CCP leadership on notice.

The Communist Party rules China out of Zhongnanhai, a side building in Beijing’s Forbidden City imperial palace complex. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which is directly under the command of the CCP and its leader, Xi Jinping, has an underground command bunker at a depth of 60 meters under the Western Hills, a mountainous region at the edge of the Beijing municipal area.

Clearly China now knows that, if they were to start trouble, the U.S. could respond quickly and decisively, just as it did against Iran. More importantly, the CCP knows that, if America did choose to target them, they likely wouldn’t stand a chance.

President Trump may not have set out to intimidate China with the attack on Iran, but he did so anyway. By destroying the Islamic nation’s nuclear facilities, he protected America and its allies and warned our enemies.

Let’s thank God for this outcome. Our prayers are working, both in America and on the global stage!
