Yet. China is going full-speed ahead with development of a greatly-expanded navy.
Plus, the Navy is still our only way to get large numbers of troops and supplies to a war zone.
Agreed. Gotta keep our eyes squarely on China.
And they're cutting their ground forces to pay for it.
Problem is, those ground forces have a significant domestic security (read: "busting dissident heads") mission. And that requires numbers.
China could well find itself in an embarrassing position of fighting a war at sea to a draw...
...and collapsing into civil war at home...
