CHINA is upping the stakes in the South China Sea region with the deployment of a massive amphibious assault vehicle capable of carrying almost 1,000 troops - with analysts suggesting it significantly enhanced Beijing's military power in the disputed waterway.

The South China Sea, which China claims sovereignty of 90 percent of, is regarded as a potential major flashpoint with the West, with Beijing having fortified numerous islands there. The report, published on the website of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, was written by Matthew Funaiole, a Senior Fellow with the think tank's China Power Project, and Joseph Bermudez Jr, Senior Fellow for Imagery Analysis.

The pictures show the Type 075 in the waters near Wuchuan on November 3 and moored at Yulin Naval Base on November 12.

Subsequent images date November 17 indicate it had been joined by a support group of at least five vessels.

Meh. Our domestic enemies are numerous and dangerous. Some of them are funded by the Chinese, but they will cause much more harm than anything China does anywhere else.

I would suspect they’re planning for anything and everything they’ve ever wanted. With their belief that Biden will take office, it is only logical for them to expect zero resistance to any moves they may choose to make. Heck, Biden’s so compromised that it wouldn’t be surprising if China took Taiwan and Joe assembled a quick press conference to denounce any critics of the move as “racist.”

Let’s hope the Chicoms are in for the rudest of all rude awakenings when they discover that they’re going to have to deal with a very pissed-off Trump for the next four years.

Don’t worry. A Biden administration will give the Chinese whatever they want and avoid a war. “Peace In Our Time “

And the day Kamala Harris is sworn in as president, they will use it to invade Taiwan. And she won’t do a damn thing about it.

“Buhbye Taiwan”

Yup. Biden won’t lift a finger, and China knows it.

Beijing Biden will do nothing as Red China gobbles up whatever it wants. If I lived in Taiwan I’d be very worried.

For the record.

If President Trump is actually defeated and out of office, his parting act must be a series of heavy duty missile attacks on Iran. He would of course advise Israel and Saudi Arabia/UAE to be on guard.

Leaving the Biden administration fools with a good hot war is justice

Not so massive.
A US LHA carries 2,000 assault Marines.

And China has to protect those ships as the cross 100 miles of open sea.

But they don’t have that ability.
