“We had better start arming our own boats for when the Chinese warboats start showing up in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.”
The problem is that’s a battle we can’t win:
*American fishing fleet 2017: 8,623
*Chinese fishing fleet 2017: 738,218
That we have 480 ships in our navy doesn’t do much to alter the balance in a coming naval conflict.
