Default Theoretical Chinese troop movement capabilities

off the cuff figures
( I got this done from total scratch in less than three hours, so be nice.)

REMEMBER: This is theoretical and OFF THE CUFF.
Theoretical Chinese troop movement capabilities on the Euro/Asian continent:

100,000 railway cars:
can move 10,000,000 troops one-way, 7,000 miles, every two weeks.

540,000 trucks:
can move 32,000,000 troops 7,000 miles, every two weeks

260,000 buses:
can move 26,000,000 troops 7,000 miles every two weeks .

5,000 aircraft:
can move 800,000 troops every 18-24 hours.

1,000 ships can move 400,000 troops one way, every two weeks .

Start on page 65 fer supporting references: http://morningcoffee.net/modules.php...=asc&start=960

Regarding Taiwan: They have a more than theoretical TWO MILLION troop, FIRST LIFT , over the horizon capability.
