As the lead invasion planner, Ding knew precisely how much redundant supply capacity had been built into the invasion fleet. It consisted of the ship that had just exploded.
For all of Chinese boasting of having the largest navy in the world in 2025, they lack A LOT of hard earned experience in amphibious operations. In the D-Day invasion, the allied had more transports than warships. They constructed the Mulberry harbors AND laid oil pipelines across the English channel just to support the army. Does the PLAN have that? Nope.
