Dear Editor,

One of China's most vicious habits is to accuse others of something they (much less others) should be accusing themselves of. Hilarious.

Its defense ministry has just lashed out at the United States, vis-a-vis China's intent to grab the West Philippine Sea and invade Taiwan. Spokesperson Wu Qian said, "The US goal is for its own selfish gains and to maintain its hegemony. Its nature is to stoke confrontation." God bless you, sir.

What nation can be more selfish than China at this juncture, and what nation has ever stoked confrontation versus fellow independent nations worse than China in these modern times and recent history? And, by the way, who (between China and the US) is maintaining hegemony awfully, desperately, devilishly, and more subtly and mischievously? Debunked.

"You shall not falsely accuse. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness." — Exodus 23:1

What if the world is without the United States to stand as a "power balance" among all nations, playing the role of an international police? I can just imagine the chaos and atrocities that may be created and committed by ungodly, brutish, covetous, big nations (especially China and Russia). Browbeating, bullying, and aggressions toward the small, powerless, and helpless — invasions and grabbing left and right. Prognosticum.

Thank God for the US "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me." — Matthew 5:11.
