China is mobilizing an armada of civilian ships that could help in an invasion of Taiwan – a mission that could surpass the Second World War’s Normandy landings. Reuters used ship tracking data and satellite images to monitor the role civilian vessels played in Chinese maritime exercises this summer. The drills revealed that China is devising concrete invasion plans, naval warfare experts say, and rehearsing new techniques aimed at speeding up beach landings of troops and equipment in a bid to overwhelm Taiwan’s defenders.

How do you distinguish civilian vs military with China? Public vs Private? Everything is a function of the state.
You don’t. They have sleepers everywhere. And, if they don’t obey their families in China will be punished. That’s how China can punish someone (usually from China) who disobeys the CCP, or they talk shit, from far away. For example: Person A talks shit, then the CCP phones up Person B who lives down the street to go slash their tires.
It was a rhetorical question already answered but yes and thanks.
Should I care? (Rhetorical)
You’re fun! So sparky.
Likewise.
So uh, you, like, wanna get together for a drink later, or something?
With you? Some sass-ass mfer? … yes. I also have a big backseat, for later.
