Lyle Goldstein, of Brown University’s Watson Institute, said there was “clear evidence” that China had “studied Mulberries and other facets of Normandy with considerable care”.
He estimated that China would likely need at least two dozen barges “to reliably bring significant quantities of armour and supplies ashore” because many would be destroyed by a Taiwanese counterattack.
“Such numbers are well within Chinese capabilities given their huge shipbuilding capacity,” Prof Goldstein noted.
