CHILLING pictures showing China’s giant D-Day style invasion barges have fuelled fears that they are preparing to invade Taiwan.
The giant troop-carrying barges are capable of delivering fleets of tanks and thousands of troops directly onto Taiwanese roads.
China is building at least five of the giant troop-carrying barges, according to satellite imagery and military sources.
The communist state is also building its largest ever aircraft carrier – capable of launching war jets from four runways at the same time.
The intensive work going on in Chinese shipyards suggests China is planning a massive amphibious assault.
Experts say the huge purpose-built barges resemble the floating Mulberry Harbours used by allied forces during the D-Day landings in June, 1944.
The barges were spotted moored off the coast of Taiwan, and sparked new fears that China is preparing to invade Taiwan.
Bringing the self-governed province back in line with mainland China has been a goal of president Xi Jinping’s for a long time and recent military activity has shown that China is ready to take it back by force.
The self-governing nation has been protected by the firepower of ally America for decades.
But alarm was spreading across Taiwan after Donald Trump sent mixed messages about continuing US support.
