China's Navy Is Growing Larger At An Alarming Pace

What can America do?
by David Axe 

Here's What You Need To Remember: America's allies contribute their own forces to international efforts to manage China's rise as a military power. But that doesn't mean the United States shouldn't reconsider its own strategy in light of China's numerical advantage at sea.
 

The People's Liberation Army Navy possesses between 313 and 342 warships, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence estimated.

By comparison, in mid-2018 the U.S. Navy possessed 285 warships.

Very alarming is the build up of their Amphibious capabilities.

They are eventually going to challenge the USA for dominance of the seas.
And if our government keeps going the way it's going, there's not much we're gonna do to stop them...

An utterly brainless journo opinion.
The Naval power in Asia was and remains Japan.
Can't wait for China to unveil their improved Marble Warship!!!!

I wonder if they use the same awesome engineering as their damns and apartment buildings that keel over on their own?

There are good reasons they just buy all their military weapons from Russia.

IIRC,the Russian surplus aircraft carrier they bought several years ago has still not left port even once.

This is what happens when you have a multi-generational populace that has been taught from birth that individuality is both harmful and dangerous,and not to be tolerated. Everybody is afraid to step up and stand out.
