… into Taiwan. "The Department of Defense claims the Chinese military is gearing up for a potential invasion of Taiwan, amping up options and reforming military doctrine in order to formally take control of the self-governing island. The new strategies vary from full-scale invasions to naval blockades, though an invasion would admittedly require an increase in troops and amphibious craft.

They still don't have much blue-water naval experience, nor do they have a lot of big-time sealift like LSTs. |
