The German publication BILD has learned from its sources in Western intelligence that China is actively preparing for an invasion of Taiwan, which could begin as early as November 2026.
Points of attention
- Insider reports suggest that China is modernizing civilian ferries for military purposes and aims to build over 70 large ferries by the end of 2026 in preparation for a possible military invasion.
- Analysts predict that Chinese President Xi Jinping may resort to military action if annexation of Taiwan through other means seems unfeasible.
What is known about China's plans?
According to insider journalists, the invasion could begin if the midterm elections in the US in November next year lead to a political crisis and internal unrest in the States.
The Chinese authorities will view a potential political crisis in America, provoked by one party's disagreement with the election results, as a chance to start a war while official Washington solves its own problems.
Analyst May-Britt Stumbaum commented.
He drew attention to the fact that China is modernizing a large number of civilian ferries for military purposes.
Moreover, official Beijing intends to build more than 70 large ferries by the end of 2026.
The country will choose a military invasion if Xi Jinping believes that annexation of Taiwan is impossible in any other way, the analyst predicts.
According to media reports, the aggressor country Russia is helping China prepare an invasion of Taiwan.
First of all, dictator Putin supplies the PRC with equipment and technology for conducting naval and airborne landing operations.
