Soldiers packed into containers will make great coffins for the attackers. As if our satellites can't see that. Stealth technology - we have it, they don't. It's like fighting a machine gun nest with rocks.

That was my read on the article. Whether or not our satellites detected the move, I doubt very much the Chinese would risk doing something like this. They couldn't know for sure they weren't detected and that their invasion force wouldn't be destroyed en route. Way too risky in my view.

Doesn't matter if we don't have guts to act, or we're too distracted to have the resources to respond.
Imagine a Democrat having to order an anti-shipping strike guaranteed to kill 50k Chinese troops. Ya think he'd really do it?
And how would the PRC respond? Nuke LA?
And what if North Korea blew up at the same time?

The PRC may be playing a better game than we are.

Oh yea, I have all the confidence in the world in our vaunted intelligence community!
