China Boosts Armed Forces to Challenge U.S. Military Dominance - Kelly Sloan TruNews

China Boosts Armed Forces to Challenge U.S. Military Dominance - TruNews (Rick Wiles)

(TRUNEWS) China announced new boosts to its military forces Wednesday, in an effort to surpass the U.S. as the world’s mightiest military power.

The plan includes the construction of a new headquarters and the formation of three new units – a general command for the People’s Liberation Army, a missile force and a strategic support force.

State television showed Chinese President Xi Jinping giving military flags to the heads of the three new units last week. He also said he wants to continue working toward the “great renewal of the Chinese nation” and views building a strong military as the key.

But in an attempt to prove China poses no threat, Xi announced in September he would reduce China’s 2.3-million army by 300,000 troops.

The move comes as China boosts its posturing in the South China Sea, giving cause for concern to many of the neighboring countries in the Asia Pacific theater.

Prior to this latest escalation, Japan announced on December 18th that they will be stringing a line of anti-ship, anti-aircraft missile batteries along 200 islands in the East China Sea, stretching almost 1,400 km (870 miles) from the country’s mainland toward Taiwan.

Vietnam also made changes to their defense strategy to counter Chinese expansion, announcing a distinct move beyond contingency planning earlier this month. Reuters reported that key units were placed on “high combat readiness” – an alert posture to fend off a sudden attack – including its elite Division 308, which guards the mountainous north.

JAMES NESBIT - New Art Releases: Protector of Justice and Angel of Rescue

Forward

Multiplied blessings to you and yours! We haven’t communicated in a while as we have been on the road – what a wonderful year we have had! We just completed the Blue Journey assignment in Kansas City, and the night we were there they had turned the waters blue in celebration of the Royals being in the playoffs; what a way to complete the journey!

We had a tremendous breakthrough among the Pueblo in New Mexico as we worshipped on the reservation there. We were hosted by our dear friend Holly Kingsbury, and we are looking forward to worshipping on several reservations next year; our 2016 calendar is pretty busy already, we will we release our 2016 schedule soon.

We are releasing two prints at once – they are so connected we felt it important to do so. In December 2014, I created an image called Cover Me which depicted an angel watching over our troops. Our law enforcement officers have been under siege by those advancing lawlessness masquerading as protest for justice, and our fire and rescue teams have been taxed to the limit with all the fires out west – these two images are created in their honor.

We are proud to introduce Protector of Justice and Angel of Rescue to honor those who have given their lives to protect and serve in such toxic times. To purchase these images, click on them and you will be redirected to our website.
