CHINA SURROUNDS TAIWAN IN SHOW OF FORCE: Calls President a 'Parasite' Amid Rising Threat of Invasion
In one of the most provocative military maneuvers in years, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) launched extensive war drills surrounding Taiwan from the north, south, and east—deploying warships, fighter jets, bombers, and missile systems—in what it called a “stern warning” against separatism. These drills come amid heightened regional tensions and follow the visit of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to Asia, where he criticized Chinese aggression and reaffirmed U.S. commitments to allies in the Indo-Pacific.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) directed blistering rhetoric at newly inaugurated Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, labeling him a “parasite” in a propaganda video and depicting him as a green insect hovering over a burning Taiwan. The messaging, matched with sweeping military operations, is being viewed by defense analysts as part psychological warfare and part simulation of an actual invasion or blockade.
The Trump Code
Unravel the prophetic mysteries behind President Donald Trump’s rise, America’s destiny, and the battle between good and evil in the last days. In this explosive new book The Trump Code by Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Troy Anderson, discover how history, prophecy, and divine providence intersect in the fight for our nation’s future.
⚔️ “Enveloping Advance”: Military Operations Simulate Total Encirclement
China’s Eastern Theatre Command reported that the war games involve:
Simulated blockades of the island,
Strikes on maritime and ground targets,
Airspace interceptions, and
Combat coordination drills using advanced weaponry and intelligence systems.
At least 71 military aircraft and 13 PLA naval vessels, including the Shandong aircraft carrier group, were mobilized in what Taiwan officials called an act of “military coercion.”
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry responded swiftly, dispatching its own warships and aircraft, activating ground-based missile defense systems, and placing its armed forces on elevated alert. While no live-fire missiles have been detected yet, the military posturing suggests Beijing’s intent to keep Taiwan under siege—symbolically and militarily.
🛡️ Taiwan on High Alert
“China’s actions are not just provocative—they are destabilizing,” said Taiwanese Defense Minister Wellington Koo, calling on the global community to condemn the exercises.
Taiwanese officials reported that Chinese warships came within 24 nautical miles (44 km) of the island’s contiguous zone—a dangerously close range that threatens Taiwan’s sovereign waters.
Koo emphasized that the military is prepared to respond to any escalation and accused Beijing of “undermining peace” while still battling “corruption and chaos” within its own military hierarchy—a nod to the recent ousting of Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu amid a sweeping anti-corruption purge.

David Giammona and Troy Anderson equip you with the spiritual tools, biblical wisdom, and battle-tested strategies to become a fearless warrior in God's end-times army.

🧠 Propaganda Warfare: “Closing In” and “Subdue Demons”
The CCP’s psychological warfare campaign intensified with the release of multiple propaganda videos.
One titled “Closing In” shows Chinese forces encircling the island with crosshairs aimed at the capital, Taipei.
Another, “Shell,” portrays President Lai as a green bug spreading parasites across Taiwan, with captions such as “Parasite hollowing the island out” and “courting ultimate destruction.”
A third video, “Subdue Demons and Vanquish Evils,” features the mythological Monkey King, Sun Wukong, riding on clouds, merging Chinese folklore with modern warfare imagery to galvanize nationalist sentiment.
🧭 The U.S. and Global Response
In the wake of the exercises, the American Institute in Taiwan—the de facto U.S. embassy—issued a sharp rebuke of China’s behavior:
“Once again, China has shown that it is not a responsible actor and has no problem putting the region’s security and prosperity at risk.”
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who had just concluded visits to Japan and the Philippines, warned that China’s escalating maneuvers are “a direct challenge to freedom and stability in the region.” He underscored Japan’s role as “indispensable” in countering China’s militaristic ambitions.
💬 Chinese Position: “Reunification is Unstoppable”
At a press conference in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun declared:
“China’s reunification is an unstoppable trend — it will happen, and it must happen.”
China continues to claim Taiwan as a breakaway province despite the island’s democratic government and growing international recognition of its autonomy. Lai, who took office last May, has been outspoken in rejecting Beijing’s “one-China” policy, affirming that only the Taiwanese people can decide their nation’s future.
Revelation 911
Are we living in the final chapter of human history? In Revelation 911, six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson and prophetic voice Pastor Paul Begley uncover startling parallels between today’s global crises and the ancient prophecies of the Book of Revelation. From pandemics to political upheaval, wars to natural disasters—could we be witnessing the fulfillment of end-times prophecy? This eye-opening book reveals the signs, decodes the mysteries, and equips believers to prepare for what’s coming next.
📉 Financial Markets and Public Reaction
Interestingly, Taiwan’s financial markets appeared unfazed by the Chinese threat. The benchmark stock index rose 2.8%, suggesting investor confidence in Taiwan’s resilience or perhaps desensitization to China’s recurring saber-rattling.
Nonetheless, the public in Taiwan remains cautious, with many civilians expressing growing concern over the frequency and intensity of PLA operations near their shores.
🕊️ Final Thoughts: A Harbinger of Greater Conflict?
As the shadow of conflict looms larger over the Taiwan Strait, the world watches closely. Is this merely a show of strength, or a prelude to invasion? Battle Ready News will continue to monitor this situation closely.
This is not just a geopolitical standoff—it is a prophetic flashpoint with global implications.

🙏 Reflection: Why We Write These Books
At Battle Ready News, we don’t just report the headlines—we connect them to the divine narrative unfolding in our time. The escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait are not just geopolitical—they are prophetic. They signal the urgency of the hour and the necessity of spiritual preparedness.
This is why we write books like Your Mission in God’s Army, The Trump Code, and Revelation 911—to equip the body of Christ with the discernment, courage, and biblical foundation needed in these perilous times. These are not ordinary books. They are spiritual field manuals for modern-day warriors.
The Bible reminds us:
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” – Matthew 24:6 (NIV)
“The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.” – Proverbs 21:31 (NIV)
Like David before Goliath, or Esther before the king, God is calling His people to rise, pray, and stand for truth.
✝️ Bible Story: Esther's Bold Stand
In the Book of Esther, a decree was issued for the destruction of her people. But Queen Esther risked everything, fasting and interceding before the king. Her courage saved a nation. Today, the stakes are no different. Our spiritual enemies seek to destroy nations, silence truth, and extinguish hope. But God raises up voices—just like you—for such a time as this.
“And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” – Esther 4:14
