It’s not fiction: Here's why China poses a rising threat to Israel | THE ROSENBERG REPORT
Joel Rosenberg presents the hard evidence, as his new political thriller ‘The Beijing Betrayal’ hits bookstores this week
When one thinks of the threat communist China poses to world order, the Indo-Pacific region is the first that comes to mind. Less attention is usually paid to China’s dangerous involvement in other parts of the world, specifically the Middle East.
“Beijing is not just interested in invading Taiwan,” said ALL ISRAEL NEWS Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg in the latest episode of his weekly program, THE ROSENBERG REPORT on TBN. “They are working closely with the forces of radical Islam to undermine and eventually disrupt and overthrow the Western security doctrine.”
Rosenberg’s newly released political thriller focuses on this grave concern. In ‘The Beijing Betrayal,’ he turns the attention to a fictional scenario in which China is preparing to destroy the entire U.S. Navy in the Pacific, while also scheming to kill millions of Americans with biological toxins produced in labs in the Middle East.
“It could be the most dangerous and realistic of all the novels I've ever written,” said Rosenberg, who has published over a dozen New York Times best-selling books.
“Why have I written this novel? Because I believe that the regime in Beijing is evil. I believe that they want to destroy the United States and our closest allies, including Israel, and become the dominant superpower on planet Earth.”
Once labeled as a “modern-day Nostradamus” by U.S. News and World Report, some of Rosenberg’s fictional plots have materialized in real life. He had written about a Russian dictator threatening to invade Ukraine and Hamas rising to power in Gaza – long before it all happened.
His first political thriller, ‘The Last Jihad,’ was published in early January 2001. The first page of the novel takes the reader inside the cockpit of a jet hijacked by radical Islamist terrorists, destined to launch a kamikaze attack into an American city. Then, the fictional American president declares war on Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
Rosenberg testifies that he is not some clairvoyant or a psychic who can imagine tomorrow's headlines, but rather someone who studies America and Israel’s enemies.
“I read their books, I watch their speeches, and I believe them,” Rosenberg explained.
By contrast, he said that many politicians and intelligence analysts in the West tend to dismiss the threats made by some of the worst enemies to Western civilization.
“They discount such threats, or they try to explain them away, but I read what these evil people write. I watch what they say. I study them, and I take them seriously,” Rosenberg continued.
“And then I write a novel about it. Why? To get people's attention. To get people to think.”
In his novels, Rosenberg makes the case that by misunderstanding the nature and threat of evil, one risks being blindsided by it. In the past, world leaders have missed a plethora of warning signs from dangerous leaders, such as Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, before they managed to carry out their evil plots.
This is why he is now raising the alarm on all the red flags coming from the Chinese communist regime, literally and figuratively.
“If they were to move on Taiwan and take this little Democratic island, they are creating a stepping stone towards dominance in the Pacific, and they will freak out every American ally,” Rosenberg told Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream in his first interview since launching his book-tour.
“But it's not just the Pacific,” he continued. “China is moving to build has built a 25-year strategic alliance with the Iranian regime, the most dangerous terrorist regime on the planet.”
THE ROSENBERG REPORT anchor noted that China buys about 90% of Iran’s black market oil, defying international and U.S. sanctions. The revenue from those sales ends up funding terrorist Iranian-proxy groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
“It goes to fight and kill Israelis. And of course, a lot of Palestinians dying as a result of that,” Rosenberg said.
On top of that, Beijing has been selling arms to the Iranian regime ever since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Rosenberg saw the evidence with his own eyes when he visited an Israel Defense Forces base in northern Israel, not far from the nation's border with Lebanon.
He showed his audience some of the 18,000 weapons and ammunition that were seized by IDF troops in southern Lebanon from Hezbollah. Among them was the QW-1 Chinese anti-aircraft rocket launcher.
“It could shoot down Israeli civilian aircraft or not just Israeli,” he stated.
In addition, Rosenberg elaborated on China’s deep involvement in what poses the greatest threat to Israel’s national security.
“China helped Iran build its aggressive and advanced ballistic missile program. China also helped Iran go nuclear, building some of Tehran's earliest nuclear power plants, including the Isfahan Nuclear Research Center and trained some of Iran's first nuclear scientists. China helped Iran develop its uranium enrichment system. All of which has helped the regime in Tehran pursue nuclear weapons.”
