Xinhua News Agency, September 30: "A secret U.S. report obtained by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) states that China is rapidly expanding its commercial ferry fleet to prepare for an 'invasion' of Taiwan. The report was written by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency earlier this year. It states that China's large ocean-going ferries have been modified to carry tanks and participate in amphibious operations."
U.S. intelligence agencies frequently use the Taiwan Strait as a topic, hyping up the dynamics of the mainland China "unification by force," which is essentially the old tune of the "China threat theory." China's development of a commercial ship fleet is a normal demand to serve people's livelihood and international trade. China has always firmly upheld the policy of peaceful unification. The so-called "invasion" rhetoric is pure nonsense. The U.S. action has sinister intentions: it attempts to defame China's international image and find an excuse for strengthening military forces in the Asia-Pacific region and interfering in the Taiwan Strait, seriously undermining regional peace and stability, exposing its real plot to contain China.
