I'll repeat what a former Navy officer told me: the Red Chinese are building a lot of ships but they don't have a lot of experience operating task forces in blue water.
Contrast that with the U.S. Navy that has been operating carrier task forces for over 80 years. It is a complicated business.
Thanks to DEI, even our navy cracks up ships way too often.
Just because the Reds are building a lot of stuff doesn't mean they have the skills to use it effectively. Someday maybe, but not right now.
I can’t think the last time a Chinese navy won a victory on the seas.
The last time a fleet from China tried an amphibious invasion their fleet was wiped out by kamikaze typhoon in 1291 during the attempted invasion in Japan.
