Prosphesy is probably one of those things where people can make any interpretation they want, and it wouldn't entirely conflict with scripture.
Another scenario, is that the 200 million man army could be an alliance of many nations, including India, Russia, Iran, etc. And maybe even the United States, Latin America, etc. We really don't know. And the 200 million sounds like infantry, so there may indeed be another 200 million or more in support, etc.
However, there is only one true interpretation, and your implication that it is entirely China could also be wrong.
And given that an apocalyptic scenario is likely to occur AFTER the rapture in which all Christians are taken out of this world, wouldn't all nations then be equally secular?
In a "PRE-rapture" world, the rise of China, a more unified world, and even the strengthening of the UN may possibly be a good thing and something that is blessed by God.
