I see they even imitated our color-keyed crew system for different work teams. Why not? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The hard part is learning to operate fighter aircraft 24/7 in all weather, not building the ships. Twenty or thirty countries have viable shipyards that could build any type of ship imaginable. Only one has an effective fleet of aircraft carriers.
They can’t operate like we do. And for all their talk about being a blue water navy, the truth is that their carriers can’t operate far from their shores. They all have ski jumps and can only launch fighters. How effective can a carrier be with no airborne radar or electronic warfare? Not very, we’d be hitting them from a thousand miles outside their range in a fight.
China is taking over ever more, of our manufacturing.
All that crap we buy from them? All of it, makes them better, and better, and better at making things.
The more they take over from us, the better they become.
Meanwhile, we are losing ever more, of our own capabilities.
Not good.
Just saying...
