China’s navy has significant advantages over its US rival, including a bigger fleet and greater shipbuilding capacity, as Beijing seeks to project its power across the oceans, the head of the United States Navy said Tuesday.===
China turned to build ships because Russia became her ally and China only land border thru which it can be invaded now friendly and peaceful.
Soviet commies were not in peace with China.
So now is a historical opportunity for China to become a world superpower. Second only to US. And China will grab it.
Due to Western sanctions and the ongoing proxy war in Europe DC has driven Putin into Xi’s arms. We’ve already blown our $200+ Billion down payment on a new multi trillion dollar, generational European arms race. An arms race that was totally unneeded in 2021. While we ensure the DC oligarchs get nickels laundered back on the trillions to be pi$$ed away, our existential enemy has yet to spend the first dime or fire the first bullet. Xi is swapping Chinese steel for Russian tanks and artillery tubes for highly discounted Russian oil as we speak. This continuing is the best case scenario. The more likely outcome is WWIII in Europe while Xi remains unscathed.
