And I disagree, because that I believe the fleet of 071s and 075s they are building will likely play an important role in a Taiwan invasion given the overall composition of the PLAN's amphibious fleet both at the present and in the immediate future.
I do agree that 071s and 075s are not being built with a Taiwan invasion as their only primary objective, given they are obviously intended for blue water amphibious operations.
However such ships will likely still be very important in an amphibious assault operation in a Taiwan invasion.
The amount of sealift and forward sea based helicopter aviation that a fleet of 8 071s and 3 075s will be able to bring during an invasion is significant, and greatly support and supplement the 30 odd 072 LSTs and number of much smaller LCUs, LCACs and handful of Zubrs that will be used during the initial phases of an amphibious assault.
