Like I said in another thread, with that trouble in the China sea, I am concerned. I always assumed China was no match for us on the seas.
“I always assumed China was no match for us on the seas.”
China is almost to the point where they could take us on regionally, with a reasonable chance of winning, especially politically.
The thing I hear most often on FR is the “China doesn’t have the sea lift”. Yet, they now have by far the world’s largest merchant fleet, MANY times larger than we do.
I have seen several articles about China developing (deploying?) anti-ship cruise missiles and torpedoes with impressive range.
Seems to me, at least around their own waters, that China no longer fears the US. And given recent history, why should they? I have no doubt they fear 0bama not at all.
