A classified US military intelligence report seen by the ABC says China is rapidly building up the country's commercial ferry fleet to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan.

The report dates from earlier this year and was prepared by members of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for the Pentagon.

The US intelligence says the large ocean-going vessels have been modified to carry tanks and partake in amphibious operations.

China is building more than 70 of the large vessels by the end of 2026.

"Read a book some time." -Says the person who doesn't read.

You should just stop. You should have stopped long ago, but now you have removed all doubt. Now toddle off and let the adults converse.

I won’t spoon feed you the info next time. Make sure you actually read this.

Sorry if I’m being dense, but just to make sure: you’re saying China is preparing to protect itself from an upcoming Japanese invasion?

Holy shit dude, I cannot possibly hold your hand through all of this. Educate yourself on HOW Japan has invaded China (backed by the US), and you will get your answers. Any country invading China will follow the same game plan. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for your reply, and good luck with your mysterious education campaign!

If spoonfeeding you info is mysterious you may be developmentally delayed.

You can't have that attitude in a conversation and expect it to go well. If your mission is to educate, you have to be kind and patient. All your last posts have been super arrogant and condescending. Nobody wants to be treated like this
