Prophecy Sign: The emergence of a powerful bloc from the East, (Kings of the East), which will march on the armies of the Antichrist at the end of the Tribulation.
This is a very interesting article given future bible prophecy. We are told in the bible that a future group know as the Kings of the East will march their armies towards and into the middle-east with the goal of engaging the Antichrist and his armies in combat.
From the article:
Israel-China relations, which have focused on cooperation in high technology, have shown signs of widening over the last several months to encompass closer defense and security ties, and academic exchanges, people in the small community of bilateral specialists say. Ehud Barak visited China in June, the first time in over a decade by a defense minister of Israel, which at one time sold over half a billion dollars of weapons to China annually before US squeezed Israel to halt those ties in the late 1990s.

Why this might happen, we are not told. However, this article might provide information for a reasonable explanation. Perhaps, as the article notes, the ties between Israel and China become much more intertwined. Israel has in the past provided many dollars worth of armaments to China, and with Israels recent oil and natural gas discoveries, it wouldn't be far fetched to suggest that China may become a major customer of Israels new found wealth. Anything that would disrupt those future supply lines may be a catalyst for China to march East to protect their investments.
At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood. He will also invade the Beautiful Land . Many countries will fall, but Edom , Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. Daniel 11:40-41 NIV
But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. Daniel 11:44 NIV
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates , and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Revelation 16:12 NIV
