China's military has been rapidly modernising, with aims of reunification with Taiwan. This has lead to an increase in military exercises and live-fire drills across the Strait, particularly since former US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's visit in August 2022. China has also been building up its arsenal of roll-on/roll-off (RO–RO) ferries, which can transport large numbers of vehicles and military personnel. This is a sign that China is bolstering its capabilities for an amphibious invasion, although concerns remain over the vessels' vulnerability in contingency scenarios.
