Shocking US Navy report shows China’s shipbuilding capacity is 232x that of the U.S.

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...


Except that, while German tanks were technologically superior to ours in WWII, we could build them so fast that the Germans couldn't keep up when we knocked one of theirs out.

The Chinese are attempting the same thing.
