Thousands Of Ships, Millions Of Troops: China Is Assembling a Huge Fleet For War With Taiwan

To have any chance of conquering Taiwan, China might need to transport as many as two million troops across the rough 100 miles of the Taiwan Strait and land them under fire at the island’s 14 potential invasion beaches or 10 major ports.
That’s a lot of people—far, far more than the People’s Liberation Army Navy can haul in its 11 new amphibious ships. To transport the bulk of the invasion force, Beijing almost certainly would take up into naval service thousands of civilian ships.
To that end, the Chinese Communist Party has created a legal and bureaucratic framework for taking over control of commercial shipping. Meanwhile, naval engineers have begun modifying key vessels to make them better assault ships.
All that is to say, the vast flotilla that would be both the vehicle for China’s assault on Taiwan—and the biggest target of Taiwanese forces and their allies—is taking shape. . . .

So which side would the Biden coup ally itself with?

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

Meanwhile, our troops are learning CRT. China and Russia are building huge new Nuclear arsenals, and our Congress is discussing reducing ours.

Taiwan's just an appetizer. The USA is the main course.
Absalom:
Taiwan's land mass of 12 thousand sq. m, is 0.3% of China's at 4.4 million sq. m.
Yet the latter need millions to win eh???
Some 2,500 years past another Asian doofus decided to teach those uppity Greeks a lesson.
So Darius of Persia confronted the Prince of Macedon at Gaugamela (Iraq) outnumbering him by some 5 to 1.
In less than a day, Alexander annihilated the Persian Horde, destroying their Empire while leaving Darius
and his Court hanging from trees. Do much for size!!!
Pass it on the the Ruling clown in Beijing.
