The "special" barges could have a commercial use.
China has a huge number of mega products and services it is offering to the rest of the developing world, and is useing non traditional engineering to get jobs done quickly and on budget. Railways, mines, solar and wind ,and new ports are, point and click.
The idea of China conducting a DDay type attack
are preposterous, they will use an overwhelming
scale, ultra high tech, remote warfare attack.
It will be very, very, quick, and close to bloodless.
Drones, missles, precision removal of all ranking
officers and comunication hubs, total coms denial,
1.5 million armed combat troops, landing in personal vtol, and water based craft, 20 min latter, the very high likely hood
of a surrender and declaration of joyous re-integration of greater China. With, most importantly the anouncement, that it will be business as usual next Tuesday, just the flag, head of government, and certain departments will change.
China has a file on everyone in Taiwan, what they do, where they do it, and where there most basic loyaltys lie and they are making it known, that peoples best move, is to ignore the whole thing,
as an inevitability, that does not have to effect
them at all.
Its working.

Huh, I wonder if they’re going to invade Taiwan like they promised to do by 2027. I love how people somehow still think it’s not going to happen.

Is there anybody on here with the military chops to tell me why these wouldn't just be sitting ducks? You could bomb them with plains, you could torpedo them with submarines, you could mine the area where they land....

If you say why not tomorrow, I say why not today? If you say today at 5 o’clock, I say why not one o’clock?

Trump needs to address this. CCP is getting antsy.
