It could push China to accelerate its defense modernization, which would contribute to a regional arms race, increasing the likelihood of military conflict in hot spots like Taiwan, the Spratly Islands, the Korean peninsula...

No record of this monumental event appears in Egyptian chronicles of the time, and Israeli archaeologists combing the Sinai during intense searches from 1967 to 1982 - years when Israel occupied the peninsula - didn't find a single piece of evidence backing the Israelites' supposed 40-year sojourn in the desert...
