China is busily building a fleet of the largest container ships the world has ever seen. -— But like the Trojan Horse of ancient Greek civilization, the fleet could potentially be used by China in a spectacular, lightening invasion of Taiwan. Could the hollow hulls and empty decks of Chinese container ships carry infantry and mechanized divisions for a devastating attack on Taiwan, securing the island before the U.S. could respond?

Taiwan is a goner when Beijing decides to pull the trigger.
Discussions of alternative scenarios are silly.
I saw a video somewhere, about the Chinese concentrating on building custom containers that can conceal all kinds of military weapons for use within the container. Easily transported, easily transferred between container ships and onto trucks or trains for delivery anywhere. On trucks, these containers become mobile missile and gun platforms. So I can see the day when a Chinese container ship offloads thousands of these deadly containers to spread mayhem. That's in addition to carrying troops.
