China Now Has More Warships Than the U.S.

But sometimes quantity doesn't trump quality.

China now has more warships than the United States Navy. The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), informally known as the Chinese Navy, recently hit a landmark number of 300 ships—thirteen more than the U.S. Navy.

Although admittedly imposing, the number doesn’t tell the whole story. America’s fleet is much larger on a ship-by-ship basis, including eleven nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and an almost equal number of amphibious assault ships.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies’ ChinaPower project has uploaded an analysis of the PLAN versus the navies of several other regional countries and major powers. At 300 warship hulls, the PLAN is the largest navy in the world, counting aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, corvettes, submarines, and amphibious assault ships. The U.S. Navy trails at 287 hulls, Russia has 83 hulls, the U.K. 75 hulls, and Australia at 48 hulls. According to CSIS, the Chinese Navy has more ships than “Germany, India, Spain, and the United Kingdom” combined.

Hmm..............
* Darius outnumbered Alexander @ Arbela by as much as 8 to 1.
* The Russians outnumbered Napoleon @ Borodino.
* They also outnumbered Von Hindenburg @ Tannenberg in 1914.
Guess who won decisively???

We can "thank", ALL PRIOR PRESIDENTS...for helping CHINA to have that.  ALL ON OUR PRIOR PRESIDENTS IN THE USA.

SAME A-HOLES...WHO KEEP HELPING MEXICO...against American citizens.   And it started with JFK...then after his death,  LBJ & TEDDY KENNEDY made WELFARE TO ILLEGALS & INCREASED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION from TURD WORLD COUNTRIES,  A REALITY,  just like JFK WANTED and had his policy's ready to do that.

It's not the quanity,it's the quality that matters.

Right now this just means our Navy might end up in what is called a "target rich environment".

Of course,if we continue to allow PLA members to enroll in our colleges and technical schools so they can steal and send home all the tech data they can get their hands on,this will change.

The Chinese are amongst the least creative people in the known universe due to their culture,but that doesn't mean they are stupid and can't take tech created by someone else and adapt it to their systems. After all,you don't need to know how to create electricity to turn on a TV.

IMO you nailed it pete. The Chinese are smart, but short on adaptation and innovation. They've gotten to where they are by stealing things.

So while they got all those wonderful toys, do they know how to use them? Jury's out on that one.
The Republic is lost.

Well,yeah,they do. They are sending the instruction manuals as well as copies of all the text books home. I reported this to the postal inspectors back when I was a letter carrier,and kept picking up outgoing boxes and flats of textbooks and documents being sent back to China by Chinese students enrolled in a local tech school.

Putting aside innate ability for a moment,the quickest way to play catch-up on a info war is to steal the info your enemy has taken years,or even decades to create.

Indeed Sneaky!
They're less creative than bricks because they worship
subservience rather than initiative and self-reliance.

Trump is the ONLY president to take China on.  I think the time has come to reverse what Richard Nixon did and begin to close the trade door on China until such time they end the blantant theft of our everything.

@jafo2010

Correction. They are NOT stealing anything. We,though the criminal class we call politicians,are GIVING it to them. In many cases in exchange for stock in Chinese companies.

We can't really blame them for taking it when we encourage them to do so,and even reward them with government contracts to buy goods from them.
