A professor dubbed ‘China‘s Nostradamus’ has made a set of chilling predictions for 2027, which end with unrest in the US boiling to the point of a civil war.
Jiang Xueqin, a Chinese-Canadian educator and political commentator, earned the nickname after making a series of geopolitical predictions that supporters say later came true.
Among them were accurately predicting Donald Trump‘s 2024 election win and that the US and Israel would become involved in a conflict with Iran during his second term in office.
Now, Jiang has revealed a disturbing series of events which he believes will start next year stemming from the war in Iran, and escalating political tensions within America.
Jiang told podcast host Jack Neel: ‘All the ingredients for civil war should already be in place. Nationwide discontent and riots and protests and insurgencies. The global economy should have collapsed by 2027.’
Specifically, he warned that the situation in Iran would crumble into a full-scale war, requiring a US ground invasion that locks the nation into the Middle East conflict for possibly ten more years.
Next, Jiang said the need for ground troops in Iran would lead to the US government bringing back a national draft, requiring men as young as 18 to serve in the military.
Jiang predicted that this would lead to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) becoming more powerful in every major city, followed by an economic collapse in the US and, eventually, mass riots and protests which could devolve into civil war.

Unlike psychics and clairvoyants, Jiang said he is able to accurately predict future events using three main tools, including treating countries and leaders like poker players.
He asks what each one thinks ‘winning’ looks like, then guesses their next move from that goal.
The teacher said he then compared today’s events with old disasters that look similar. If a confident empire once got stuck in a long war, he uses that pattern as a warning, not as proof.
From there, Jiang said he watches what the most driven groups already believe must happen. If religious or political players believe in biblical end times prophecies, he assumes they will act as if that ending is an actual plan.
Trump, Jiang claims, believes God gave him a mission to save America. Winning a war in Iran is optional. The real goal would be to keep power and secure a third presidential term in 2028.
‘I think this war between United States and Iran will only escalate. There can be no offramp. You’ll see a ground invasion of Iran, which case America’s going to be stuck there four years, I think, is optimistic. Possibly ten, 20 years,’ Jiang said during the April 2026 podcast.
‘By 2027, you should have the framework for national draft already in place. ICE will be much more powerful than people imagine. They want to deploy National Guard to all major cities in America because they’re preparing for economic collapse.’
‘He’s got no ego in this thing. His job is to get a third term so that he can save America,’ he added when explaining President Trump’s alleged motivations in Iran.
Jiang claimed the war in Iran would lead to global economic collapse in 2027, triggered by the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz

Regarding Jiang’s fourth prediction of an economic collapse, he explained that continuous shutdowns of the Strait of Hormuz could be the trigger that wrecks the global economy.
He noted that cheap energy and fast shipping through this key waterway hold the global financial system up.
Jiang has already seen parts of this prediction come true in 2026, with shutdowns of the Strait during the US bombing campaign causing prices on oil, gas and fertilizer to skyrocket.
The increases in gas and fertilizer prices had a devastating trickle-down effect on other goods, including food, with Jiang warning that another shutdown in 2027 could destabilize the world.
‘If America loses this war, it means the collapse of the American economy,’ he warned.
As for his final prediction of a second US civil war, the man called ‘China’s Nostradamus’ explained that he did not foresee two armies fighting on US soil.
Instead, he predicted the US would see unrest everywhere, including protests, riots, low-level fighting and local insurgencies – mainly in response to a growing presence of ICE and the National Guard in all major cities.
By 2030, Jiang warned that he foresaw a larger fight between ‘globalists’ and ‘nationalists’ escalating in both the US and Europe.
