Western press: China prepares civilian ships to invade Taiwan

Western analysts admit that China is preparing civilian vessels for various purposes to invade Taiwan. They were prompted to this idea by the recent exercises of the amphibious forces of the People's Liberation Army of the PRC.

This reasoning is contained in an article published by the British portal Naval Post.

For the first time, a large civil ferry, owned by the shipping company Bohai Ferry Group, was involved in the landing maneuvers. This is the Bohai Pearl ferry ship with a displacement of 24 thousand tons, a hull length of 164 meters and a width of 25 meters. On three of its decks, it is capable of transporting about 300 pieces of equipment.

Such a Ro-Ro cruiser was tasked with delivering the unit on ZBD-05 amphibious vehicles to the landing site. There are no other details about these maneuvers, so it is not known how the vehicles were disembarked from the ferry: by swimming or directly to a specially equipped coast.

The Western press has previously noted that the Chinese build their civilian ro-ro ships so that they can be used for military purposes. After all, they can also act as landing craft during a possible invasion of Taiwan. But since civilian ships need a full-fledged port infrastructure to land their personnel and equipment ashore, this threat cannot yet be realized.

To solve this problem, China needs to master the production of artificial berths. Something similar was used by the Allies in 1944 during the landing of troops in Normandy.

Earlier, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said that Beijing may try to follow the example of the Taliban (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) in order to seize the uncontrolled island. At the same time, the official added that Taipei is ready to defend itself, including with the help of its allies.

Good luck to all of them in their showdown. Let them not touch us.

The British media distract the reader from their jambs in Afghanistan - a boomerang for Russia, preparations for the seizure of Taiwan by China. We are waiting for news about Iran.

Such an event will affect absolutely everyone on the planet who is associated with microelectronics and economics.

China will not take Taiwan by storm. He will wait for the hegemon to grow decrepit to such an extent that he becomes isolated on his internal problems. You may have to wait long enough, but the Chinese are patient. Without the support of the hegemon, Taiwan will become part of China without an armed struggle. The same Chinese live there and will not die just like that.

And if Taiwan takes it, then the entire international authority of the United States will actually be flushed down the toilet.

[Yrec]

The United States spat on its "international authority". As long as the whole world pays in dollars - the United States is not in danger, as soon as it ceases - the United States is the end, as a world power. We are all impressed with the dollar, "international authority" has nothing to do with it.

[Orange bigg]

If the United States does not have the authority and strength to support it, then in a year it will be possible to pay in dollars only in the United States itself, and this is the collapse of the entire economic system of the United States and, as a consequence, the United States itself. The United States can only be an empire or not at all. This is the logic of the US system, and if it is not followed, it will simply break.

[Yrec]

The overwhelming majority of people on our Earth who make decisions have dollars in their "wallets". I think they do not want their "wallets" to be zeroed and will drown for a dollar. You need something extraordinary to get rid of the dollar. This will happen, in chapter 17 of the Revelation of John the Theologian it is described quite substantively, practically without allegories.

If it is not difficult to retell what is written there.

[Yrec]

In a nutshell? Dollar - kapets!

[Orange bigg]

For what reason. Well, retell it in a nutshell. It is simple and so clear that nothing is eternal under the Moon and everything has its beginning and its end. The reason is curious.

[Yrec]

Chapter 17 describes the crash process itself. The reason was described a little earlier and is quite simple: patience is over.

[Just a Traveler]

Drown them all. No questions asked - just drown.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

And let them whip!

[donavi49]

Well, they do it all the time.

[Foxmara]

These same people predict the seizure of the Baltics by Russia. incl. it's just a distraction.

[va3610]

But they can, for one thing, and see what you will do, if ours "express concern" then consider it lost, China will not stop there.

[Borisych]

Taiwan has its own Chinese fifth column. It's just that the time has not come yet.

[Puskarinkis]

With such news, the "Western press" can surprise only naive individuals of the consumer type. Many "mechanisms" have a double meaning, there are laws allowing the requisition of civilian equipment in wartime, there are examples of the use of civilian vehicles for the transfer of troops: French taxis in WWI, the British draped from Dunkirk, the "invasion" of the Germans in Luxembourg by trams ... All is fair to war!
