Recently leaked intelligence from the U.S. Navy shows that China's shipbuilding capacity is currently 232 times higher than that of the U.S., a very worrying statistic as the People’s Liberation Army
(PLA) Navy seeks to expand its global reach.
This figure comes from a leaked briefing slide from the US Navy. A spokesperson for the Navy confirmed to Fox News Digital that the slide was authentic.
It shows that while American shipyards currently have a capacity of under 100,000 tons, the capacity of Chinese shipyards exceeds 23.2 million tons.
The spokesperson said that while the slide does offer some insight into the communist country's shipbuilding capacity, it should not be interpreted as a thorough assessment of the Chinese commercial shipbuilding industry. Instead, it was part of a larger overall brief outlining strategic competition.
