Chinese Military Shares Video Threatening To Nuke Japan, Start Full Scale War If Country Defends Taiwan

Chinese Communist Party officials are advocating for the “continuous” atomic bombing of Japan, after Japan’s deputy prime minister said a Chinese attack on Taiwan would threaten Japan’s survival. 

A five-minute clip created by verified military commentary channel “Liujun Taolue” calls for Beijing to launch nuclear strikes on Japan if Tokyo intervenes in a Chinese invasion of democratic Taiwan.

The clip was posted over the weekend, deleted, and then reposted by the official CCP account in Baoji, Shaanxi province. The clip is also live on YouTube-like platform Xigua, under an account run by the Baoji Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In the video, the narrator makes constant threats against Japan using belligerent rhetoric.

“When we liberate Taiwan, if Japan dares to intervene by force, even if it only deploys one solider, one plane and one ship, we will not only return reciprocal fire, but also start a full scale war against Japan,” the narrator says in Mandarin.

“We will use nuclear bombs first, we will use nuclear bombs continuously until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time.”

In recent weeks, the Chinese regime has increased its aggressive behaviour towards Taiwan and its allies, indicating that a Chinese invasion of the island nation is very likely.

During a ceremony commemorating the 100th birthday of the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese President Xi Jingping vowed to “smash” any attempts by Taiwan at formal independence and pledged to complete “reunification” with the democratic country.

“Solving the Taiwan question and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland are the unswerving historical tasks of the Chinese Communist Party and the common aspiration of all Chinese people,” Xi said.

“All sons and daughters of China, including compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, must work together and move forward in solidarity, resolutely smashing any ‘Taiwan independence’ plots.”


HD Editors Note: Why is this News Biblically Relevant?

In Matthew 24, the disciples ask Jesus, “What shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world?”

Jesus’s response is a detailed description of the condition of the world and what it will look like in the last days. Wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, these being the beginning of sorrows. He depicts persecution and an abounding iniquity that would cause the love of many to wax cold and divisions that would cause loved ones to betray one another.

In Luke 21:25, Jesus says, “There will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth Distress of Nations with Perplexity, the seas and the wave roaring.”

With the current global state of turmoil amongst the nations, we can’t help but recognize the distress of nations Jesus describes in Luke 21 and Matthew 24, matching what we see today.

A Race For Energy: AI Infrastructure Is Becoming Increasingly Difficult To Confine Within Traditional National Boundaries

Historically, governments could identify critical infrastructure relatively easily—power plants, factories, banks, and computer centers all had addresses. But imagine autonomous AI infrastructure scattered across international waters, connected through satellite networks. Now add space-based computing, orbital communications, global satellite internet, autonomous ships, and digital currencies. The technological world begins to look considerably different. Infrastructure is becoming increasingly global, distributed, autonomous, and difficult to confine within traditional national boundaries. That is where the Bible-prophecy discussion becomes especially interesting.

‘Shocked And Distressed’: Canadian Christian Grandmother Was Euthanized Against Her Will, Says Family

The family of a Christian grandmother who was euthanized, allegedly without her consent, has filed a complaint to the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario. Brigette Stegemann previously refused so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on the grounds that it violated her Christian faith, and died by a lethal injection on July 10 without providing a final verbal confirmation of consent, the family says

Political Division, Persecution, And War: How Bible Prophecy Changes Our Perspective On World Affairs

As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches. People are becoming more cold-hearted, selfish, and angry. We are experiencing a breakdown that feels irreversible. Our problems do not have simple solutions, but we can find guidance in Scripture.
