How many chinese troops do you think can be carried on just one container ship, with 3500 containers?A bunch, if you don't care whether or not they will be able to fight when they reach a hostile shore.
Very few, if the above point is actually crucial.

Sorry, I routinely outfitted containers as living quarters on some overseas jobs, made my office in one, and we regularly intercept containers full of illegal chinese entering the US.
A bit of work and design, and a 50,000 capacity troop ship could be outfitted in no time.
