While that number of an army was unimagineable in the day of John on the Island of Patmos, today China has an army of 100,000,000. Source: CIA factbook.

againstwind,
the bible is not telling Israel to attack China. It is telling Israel that this will happen no matter what and that's there is no point in trying to stop what God has seen happen from the beginning. In all your getting, get understanding. Let God change your cold hard heart.

Schneb, you're right. Forgive me for misquoting Revelation. Funny thing is, I misquoted my own webpage also.
There would be a nation to the far east of Israel, to the end of the earth. This nation would have an army of 200 million. "And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million and I heard the number of them." Revelation 9:1
China's military power is 200,886,946 (CIA factbook)

It does seem to point to China, doesn't it? However, the number in Revelation is 200 million, so I agree with zsnow, it may include a coalition army of Muslim nations.
It is also interesting that Turkey built a dam that could dry up the Euphrates to allow the crossing of such a hoard. It is also interesting how the focus of everyone's angst, centers on Israel.
Ezekiel also mentions the area of Russia getting involved. Russia, up until the present time, has pretty much steered clear of Middle East politics. Today, its posturing and taking sides.
There is a lot of specific prophecy that is could not occur pre-2000. Today, it is all lining up for a final climax.

It does.
but don't forget that this might need to be interpreted somehow.
Many do believe China will play big role in future events (which is soft of expected - 1/3 of world population lives there... some say there are more Christians in China then in rest of the world combined)

Yes, I agree. Do to population overgrowth and the desire to continue the family name abortions are at an alarming rate. The birth rate of Men to women is 8 to 1. It has been at that rate for nearly 30 years now.

Probably. Although Russia may also play a role. Why though, are all these nations trying to destroy Israel the Holy City? Obvoiusly the work of satan.

Let's not forget about India. They have a huge population too. It doesn't matter though, because either way it's crap.

Sorry, the Chinese military is only about 3 million. Check your facts better.
