The defender has to be ready to repel attacks at any time, and so has to spend on their military every year.
The aggressor can afford to focus on expanding industrial capacity, and defer military spending until shortly before attacking.
China is getting ready to make a move, probably shortly after a Democrat is elected president.

It takes a LOT of time, training and myriad errors to learn to properly operate a big amphib.
With a flat bottom, air ops and unrep are particularly challenging.

Whether or not a defending nation could stop those ships from landing would depend on whether or not the defending nation had anything left to do it with.
