Many have predicted the rise of China and the fall of the United States in recent years, however, the economic and social reality of the Asian giant is changing the position of many analysts, who now see it far in the distance, if not impossible, for China to ever surpass Uncle Sam, warning instead of an imminent decline of China.
Yet, many warn of the dangers of such a situation, pointing to China's military buildup to avoid its own desolation. It has already gained the world's largest military naval fleet, and advances in the South China Sea and threats from China have intensified.
What is China's economic situation today? Is it possible that we are witnessing the beginning of China's downfall? How is China trying to strengthen itself militarily? What military and even warlike consequences could this have? Today we tell you.

Its funny according to mainland Chinese they see China as stuck. She needs more time to build up to even have chance at taking Taiwan or the South China Sea. But everyday more nations join the US to ally against China (China seems good at making enemies not allies) and the US military is rearming (especially thanks to Russian invasion of Ukraine). While also increasing its technological advancement, with things like AIM-260 air to air missiles and the coming NGAD/F/A-XX 6th gen fighters coming before the end of the decade. So what is China to do, go now when they would likely fail since they are just not ready yet. Or wait 10 or so years when the US will be way more advanced and even more ready for Chinese aggression.

has read many comments from blew, but looks like nobody taken consideration of the capacity of ship building, China in 2022, has built totally 2000 million ton of different ships, bus US just built 10 million tons, the difference is 200 times.
China had more than half steel products and ship build capacity of the whole world.
If China turned into a war machine, you can imagine how many warships China can build a year.
One thing people tend to miss out in such videos is, when comparing military budgets, it is more relevant to calculate purchasing power rather than pure absolute dollars.
For example, a shell might cost america USD500 but in China, it might cost only USD100 due to differences in manufacturing costs.

In the latter stages of WWII, when it was overwhelmingly powerful in the Pacific, the US decided that invading Formosa would be too costly.
Meh. They didn't have to. McArthur also never invaded Rabaul, which had more Japanese Soldiers on it than Iwo Jima. He didn't have to. As the US Navy decimated the Japanese Navy, where he could, McArthur avoided invading several Islands, he just isolated them and cut them off. The 110,000 Japanese Soldiers on Rabaul almost starved to death, and the closest they got to an American Soldier was to be bombed by them. He almost avoided the Philippines, but the photo op was too valuable to him.
Having many ships doesn’t means good sailors and seamanship. There are no Chinese person doing anything on the high seas in recent history
Just shooting water cannons at fishing boats in their own waters.
Sigh.......the PLAN has been gaining first hand experience along with cooperating with and working along side many western navies coducting anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somila and escorting merchant ship for over a decade now. The worse thing many here can do and are doing, is under estimating the PLAN, its personnel and their professionalism and capabilities.
The PLAN built these ships so fast just to help inflate numbers I wonder if any of these ships be able to function correctly
Well, 055 is a patrol boat and 054B is a fishing boat. as long as you are happy.
The function properly. They part time as blue sea fishing vessels.
Western shills like to denigrate this strategy. But in reality it's genius. These ships have dual purposes military and economic or scientific. Like they are cheap vessels no doubt about it but is it worth to sink a 400k vessel with a 1.2 million dollar missile.
@@williamking3529 The 055 is the biggest naval destroyer in the world lol
China's most potent force at sea isn't the number of ships, it's the number of missiles.
China's missiles are more TOFU DREGS. The manufactures of said missiles have admitted that as many as 80% OF THEM ARE WORTHLESS. That makes the entire Rocket Force almost totally useless. And what doe it say for all the missiles on the Chinese ships of the PLAN?

When China has a true 'blue water navy' that can refuel and resupply anywhere at sea (doesn't need to dock to do these things), like the USN. Then maybe we can begin to discuss navel parity.
The Chinese don't want to police the world or spread "democracy" aka regime changes anywhere. They only want the u.s out of their backyard. So they don't need bases around the world and 10 aircraft carriers. That's simply not their strategy.
China's navy is specialized to fight in the taiwan strait, since china doesn't plan to fight the US
A group of TH-camrs too good! To say that China has contributed to the welfare of the world is not the best of phrases, nothing wrong with the Chinese but their economic development was based on Dumping of price, quality, polluting energies and work.

@@brianliew5901jealousy? You sounds like a bitter ex girlfriend. 😂
China has the most “ships” but by tonnage is still far behind and they are mostly a coastal short range navy. Not to mention the lack of experience or the additional support from UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and to a lesser extent Vietnam, India and NATO allies.
What about if we remove aircraft carriers. Is China still far behind US?
😅😅
What experience does the u.s have apart from bombing armed goat herders and desert bedouins in Afghanistan and middle East? The u.s hasn't fought anybody with atleast a functional or inferior airforce or navy.
Ya let's also leave out merchant vessels while we cherry pick
tonnage dont count in navel warfare, it who have better missile and anti ship missile
that count
So, the thing about China and its Navy..... it doesn't need to, and I don't think they're trying to, be a global superpower but rather a regional one. Yes, America's nuclear-powered carriers are bigger, can carry more, and travel further without refueling. However, China's diesel-powered ships don't need to do that if all they are looking to achieve is to exert control over the South China Sea. The reason the US and Chinese Navies look different is because they currently have different missions.

China next phase Will be unclear powered aircraft carrier
That is yesterday's analysis. Because the US has started announcing next generation directed energy weapons like lasers will be core technologies plus a number of other capabilities that are possible because American carriers are "over engineered" for potential capabilities, China is realizing that it needs to design that capability into their ships, too if they expect to compete.
And no. China is not interested in limiting its ambitions to being a regional superpower, those are only Xi's immediate goals. China clearly wants to defeat the US military to extend its dominance to Africa, South America and other parts of the world that is important to China's "security and self interest." Power hungry authoritarians have an unlimited appetite.
@@tonysu8860 I'm not suggesting that China solely wants to be a regional power. Rather, that it's navy is currently intended to serve regional power purposes. Their plans for Africa and South America tend to be through soft power tools such as trade arrangements.
A dictatorship not trying to be a superpower? 🤔
here’s the rub though, the People’s Liberation Army Navy has never fought a war at sea. Its ship designs, operating procedures and training are built on guesswork and peacetime operations. The US Navy however, has experience in war and will fight accordingly. Russia’s VKS was meant to be a peer opponent to NATO, but can’t even destroy the Ukrainian Air Force, looking strong is easy, fighting well is not.
Mostly coastal ships not a real navy. You can't do force projection missions if you're in port.
China's military is growing, but their training, readiness, and ultimately their capabilities are lacking.
And we still don't know if their equipment is even good. Western militaries require exacting standards in the construction of their equipment and we really don't know to what standard Chinese equipment was built. Relaxing these standards can allow you to more easily (and cheaply) ramp up your military, but the operational lifetime, reliability, and effectiveness will suffer.
that's the old PLA, where bodies counted more then skill......not anymore. They have long since traded quanity for quality, focusing on a smaller military but with more modern weapon systems and tech and higher levels of training and tactics. The PLA is not the PLA of twenty years ago, a lot has changed according to western military analysist.
@@gumpyoldbugger6944 the problem is that we don't know what that "quality" means yet. Look at the pretty poor quality of all the of infrastructure and their new flagship commercial airplane due to corruption and in some cases missing know how and capabilities. So any quality claims around their military are suspect until proven otherwise.
They also haven't fought a major war since their attempt invasion of Vietnam. There are not a lot of the PLA left who have combat experience or experience in planning or executing a war. Mind you that invasion failed spectacularly. Meanwhile the U.S has decades of fighting both conventional and non-conventional wars and a carrier doctrine worked out to perfection, where the Chinese are practically building from scratch. Look what I am trying to say they may be bigger in the U.S but that is just compensation given the lack of experience. From what I can tell the most experience they have is from fighting insurgents in Africa. This comes from their contribution to UN security forces and Mercenaries. I dont know about UN security forces, but I have seen what happens if you give mercenaries too much time over sees, with too much time to build up their own wealth and power *Caugh Prygozian*.
I always hated that comparison. "The Chinese have a larger navy than the US!" Which is like saying a Coast Guard vessel are equivelent to a Destroyer. Tonnage matters.
Indeed. And so do capabilities and competencies.

missiles matter....chinese knows its missles that matter. Not tonnage.
you can be a lion but if going against a pack of hyenas you are still fucked
So does knowledge and you seem to be wanting for it. Tonnage in this case, is a metaphor for capabilities and power projection ability and in that respect, the US Navy is galaxies ahead of the Chinese.
Missiles matter? You're right, they do. That's why our guys retired the boulders and catapults some time ago.@@fatmanslim4592
It's already a "sunk" cost
No combat experience make no good expensive toys
In my opinion , the total number of warships a nation has doesn't matter. What matters is how much one can deploy on the battlefield. And let's not forget the M4 Sherman Vs the tiger tank when quantity became a quality of its own .
And it's very unlikely that the USA would intervene militarily as it's population would disapprove of such a war .
Chinese warships were sold to Pakistan and other nations were piece of garbage lol. China can never beat the US. We are the One Nation Under God. 🇺🇸
Yet Russia is getting beat back by Ukraine despite the advantage in both numbers _and_ capabilities, which is only set to degrade further as NATO kit gets implemented.
China military is at least 4 times weaker than the US. Because the US has 4 times bigger military expenses than China. If we consider the US military expenses has been 10 times bigger in the last 20 years than China, the gap is even bigger. Also China military is very corrupted this make it even worse. So China pose no threat to the US in terms of military.
But in terms of economy, China is still growing faster than all developed countries maybe 2-3 times faster so China still has a lot of opportunity for foreign companies.
US military is corruputed @@infoworld7706

This video like many other unsophisticated analysis only looks at gross numbers.
To say that China has built an air force of aircraft comparable to the F-16 and F-18 is superficial so is also wrong. Although because the air frames are brand new and, similar design and size as US 30 year designs still ignores what is in the aircraft. Crucial Chinese propulsion technologies of all types are also at least twenty years behind the US in reliability and life, would typically result in at least an 80% reduction in operating numbers over any conflict that lasts longer than a week.
It's not just aircraft, everything else about the PLA is subject to the same issues and questions. No one knows how Chinese ships will perform at a wartime tempo. China doesn't train often so it's problematic if China can execute a complex operation like an amphibious landing.
Additionally, other military assets like the Fujian aircraft carrier are not insignificant but not particularly threatening for a number of reasons... Like the lack of a capable aircraft that can be carrier launched, the discovery of a fundamental design flaw that cannot be overcome that drastically limits the effectiveness of its elevators that impacts operations, no sea trials to date and so on. This is typical of Chinese military capability, a lot of boasting but inexperience and real limitations that result in limited capability.
Basically, at this time China's PLA is a paper tiger. There is always some tiny chance that China could conduct a successful military operation against Taiwan or an element of the US forces but at least today and for the foreseeable future China does not have the capability to challenge Taiwan to force reunification, enforce its claims in the South and East China Seas or do anything else that could challenge the US and its allies, particularly since the US and its allies are not complacent, either and are transitioning to a posture of readiness themselves.
A paper tiger at sea and air maybe but if it was a land war, china would be a real tiger.
@@pathat8869
Even that is questionable.
At the start of WW2 they were not able to win back Manchuria from the Japanese occupier. Even though there were many more Chinese than Japanese.
@jfverboom79 China at that time was more corrupt and divided into warlords. China now is a different beast. That's like comparing Prussia vs France in 1870 and Prussia vs France in 1805. Totally different
It was the Chinese military thinker Sun Tzu who said something like:"Don't rely on weapons only!"
First China will need to get a Navy and not just a maritime component to their army.
Also not quite true. You have defenses, counter measures and speed of ships. You’d be surprised how fast ships are and how good defenses are. Swarm missiles are a different thing entirely.
It isn't about how Many ships a country has. It is all about how effective they are in combat. China has a very long way to go.
Really? How do you explain Korean War stalemate? How do you explain successful liberation of Vietnam against colonial French and Imperialist USA?
Both wars have China directly involved. American have obese problem, let see how American soldier roll on the battle field, huffing and puffing... "oooh, my life is so precious..."

@@tristanx3508, things are vastly different than they were 50 to 70 years ago. Go sit in the corner and let the adults talk...
The strongest reason why China's military will (or is) more powerful than the US is how the US military industrial ocmplex operates. Every, (no exceptions) major US weapons program is at least 100% over budget and years to a decade behind schedule. Ford class carrier, Seawold sub, Zumwalt destroyer, rail gun, F35 and the iist goes on. The Zumwalt was cancelled after 3 were built because it fired bullets that cost 2 million a piece. Then the Navy said instead it will carry hypersonic missiles. But then the airforce cancelled a production contract because the company comes back with an initial estimate of $100M/missile. There's a revolving door between the pentagon and US defense contractors. Sometimes a program goes so far overbudget and behind schedule even the Pentagon will cancel it. But then the contractor go to congress and get it reinstated. The Pentagon says a dollar goes 10 times further in China than the US when it comes to leading edge weapons systems. This is why their 250B/yr budget is building a stronger military than our 900B budget. Hypersonic missiles is an example. China has deployed 2 different types. We expect to field our first sometime between 2025 and 2027. Can the US military industrial complex change and become 10X more efficient?
They said they will reunify by 2025. Now it is 2027. Next it will be 2030, 2035. etc.
Nope,
The west says China will invade Taiwan by 2025. Not China. China has time, while the US not. That is why the US is pushing China to a war. Hopefully China whould not fall in the US trap.
The year is currently 2023.
US specialists predicted that china collapses by 2010. Now it is 2025. Next it will be 2030, 2035 etc.
In ships for sure but not (the most important) in experience.
China's navy is consist mostly of fishing boats with pictures of canons on the sides.. 😂😂🤣🤣
Largest doesn't always means the Strongest
Quality beats quantity, always has and always will , a case in example is the present day conflict in Ukraine , Russia expected to steam roller their way to Kiev within days !!!!
Look at the USSR, they beat both the Japanese and Germans, while Germany had by far the best quality Army out there.

China’s big navy has already been used to assert itself in the South China Sea against Vietnam and the Phillipines and to a lesser extent against Malaysia and Brunei. Their use of such tactics carries with it it’s own seeds of destruction as the Phillipines turns to the US to increase its military presence in their country and Vietnam remains open to strenghtening relations with America. The US navy is able to gain more and more access to the region with the direct participation of the nations that feel the need for backup to retain their sovereignty. The overall result of China’s military buildup is increased resistance rather than acquisence which, coupled with it’s internal struggles and challenging demographics, means China really has to think of alternative plans to remain safe and secure going into the future. And we’re talking near future here.

@@kth6736 And how did you come to this conclusion? Based on all the support Ukraine is getting? I was surprised how much Australia was helping for example. If anyone could say it's not their war it's them.
china's navy is biggest in numbers yes, but its warships are mainly brown water navy, its ships are smaller and its navy tonnage is smaller than the US. US warships carry more VLS, ~ 9000...china warships carry VLS around only ~1000.
I doubt the Chinese ships are comparable to US ships. I doubt their level of proficiency and professionalism is as high. I’m sure their ships are so new. They’re probably still reading the owners manual. I’m also heard they don’t have any range at all. They’re basically a green water navy

10:04 "... already has capabilities such as the use of catapults and an electromagnetic design used for launching jets." Woah! Not so fast! The Fujian is still being fitted out = does NOT have proven capabilities (with stolen technology). Just as uninspiring, the Liaoning sports the same design as the Russian Admiral Kuznetsov infamous for belching-black smoke and needing accompanying tugs. The Shandong is a MiC copy of the Liaoning.
China's economy is 70% of US, but military expenditure is only 25%。 LOL
Er.....the Chinese Type 055 "Destroyer" is classified by NATO as a Cruiser and they plan to keep making more of these for the next 20 years. Also the Chinese navy have stopped production of smaller ships and will build exclusively bigger ships. For example the Chinese Navy plans to have 6 carriers by 2030 of which 3 will be nuclear powered. Thus in about 10 years their carrier fleets can go toe to toe with the US carrier fleets.
Uhh...China counts Coast Guard and Merchant Militia (aka fishing boats) as part of its Navy. So in terms of pure military Naval ships China is still far behind the US Navy. Also as for China's vaunted carriers, the first two are small ski jump Soviet style carriers, her first is used solely for training, her second has to have her planes fly back to mainland after her deployment is done because of lack fuel/parts. Since her at sea supply ships can't keep her supply for anything past her deployment time. Finally her newest carrier hasn't even been seen launching planes yet and is still in dry dock for 'final work' which doesn't seem to include anything involving planes. Finally, China's biggest problem is she lacks allies in the region. Meaning the closets US planes in the South China sea are in the Philippines, not Okinawa. Yet again more clip bait from VP.

Nations like the Philippines treaty allies of the US, while out and stating they wanted to remove the US from Indo-Pacific. Claiming US bases and ships in the Indo-Pacific is colonialism.

@@jacklouie8096 having friendly nations willing to aid you is also a factor. Sorry China doesn’t have any friends, even fellow Commies.

Not by quantity but by quality.
It would need to spend FAR MORE money to even come close to approaching the ACTUAL size in tonnage of the US Navy.
The algorithm protects!
It has.
Although some say China lifted people out of poverty by redefining what poverty means in a legal sense.
Yeah, if you make $251 dollars a month you're no longer living in poverty, and if you work 1 hour a week you're not unemployed, the CCP lies about everything...
it means people food, a place to live and provide enough for family such as education (free), basic health (free) and decent quality of life
@@roro4787 That's not what it means at all, they've redefined it to the income being below some area specific average, which is basically just cooking the books.
Communist Chinese Navy ships:
They still call them junks!
😂😂😂
Chinese has no naval war experience during their long history.
can't be much of a force if they use low quality metal. The US may have less ships but our tonnage is still more than all of their ships combined.
7 minutes introduction is too long 😢
I think you guys are running out facts and information.
Please bring more original and unique videos
As reported their equipment is falling apart, just like their cars!
Yeah maybe china have the biggest navy fleet but most of its ship is small compared to US navy and its not about quantity its quality and most of chinese ship is behind the US in terms technology, capability and superior tactical and not to mentioned most of chines ship can only operate at there exclusive zone even there aircraft carrer lol, not to mentioned us fleet have allready experience and can operate globally there are nine striker group of us navy and id say that even one striker fleet of the US is impossible to penetrate by chinas large fleet, even US have more ballistic submarine and destroyer than chinas large fleet
Any grown-ups (over age 30) work at VisualPolitik?
Clearly not.
China will have to equip its army and navy with good air defence systems to reduce/limit ability of US air force
I don't think soo
The video title is about will china surpass the US Navy. But almost half of the video you talk about will china surpass the US economy that's why sometimes I had to left your video in between
I knew everything, this channel cover China news months after it was news. He say's did you know.. well duh don't everyone? Until i thought about not everyone know and read about China every morning so it's good he enlighten the people that don't.
An uphill battle then - For global reach, not regional
China 🇨🇳 only has access to 1 ocean whilst the USA 🇺🇸 has access to 5!!!
Do patrol boats from the CCP Coast Guard count as warships? For that matter, wooden row boats could to, it all depends on the CCP point of view.
Yeah, a dictator doesn't let insignificant details like that stand in his way. You can bet you ass even those wooden row boats are added to the list 😂
You could put a mortar on the boat 🤣🤣🤣
I see a lot of comments that refer to the PLAN as mostly fishing boats and Coast Guard ships.
That's not entirely true anymore... China's latest Destroyers (super sized and nearly Cruiser in capability if not size) and frigates are very capable by specs supporting modern weaponry like vertical launch tubes... in large numbers, more than refitted Arleigh Burkes which comprise America's current backbone of ships of that class. Currently China has only a little less than half the US fleet (about 30?) of these modern but are building them at an outrageous pace, more than 6 per year. By the end of this decade, the PLAN may outnumber the US fleet in this class of ships although no one knows whether China will operate them competently or for what missions.
Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth, keep planning...👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
China's throw weight in missiles is still only half of the US Navy's and the manufactures of China's missiles have openly admitted that up to 80% of the missiles made so far are defective, meaning they only have about 10% of the effective missiles of the US Navy. That when added to the fact that the PLA Rocket Force apparently has the same problem with it's missiles, it makes the Invasion of Taiwan look a little problematical doesn't it? Also the bulk of the Chinese Naval Warships (Excluding Submarines) is made up of Frigates and Corvettes (no Cruisers, no Amphibious Assault Ships) which are frankly, very easy to sink. They only have 23 Destroyers and 2 functional Aircraft Carriers (which are based on 70s relics of the USSR). The US on the other hand has 74 Destroyers, 11 Aircraft Carriers, 16 Guided Missile Cruisers, 10 Amphibious Assault Ships (8 of which can carry 20 aircraft and 2 of which can carry 25). China is almost on par with the US on number of Submarines but is still about 2 decades behind on Submarine Technology, which makes the Chinese Submarine Fleet extremely vulnerable to the US.
China still only has a mere 23 destroyers in comparison to the USs 74 and only 2 functioning Carriers in comparison to the USs 11 plus 10 Amphibious Assault Ships capable of carrying Fighter Aircraft.

What a biased video. How does a channel with almost 1.4 million subscribers not know how simple economics work? Also says a lot about the intelligence level of their subscribers.
Beijing could lost all man made islands in East Sea to Uncle Sam!!!
Thumbnail image - hat crooked and too big. Not genuinely respectful.
The 9-dash (sometimes called 11-dash line) line was drawn in 1947 by the then Republic of China (ROC) government, after ROC was replaced by PRoC in 1948, PRoC inherited the 9-dash line claim, the ROC government and its military force were driven to the Chinese island of Taiwan, still claim to be the legitimate government of whole China up to TODAY. ROC (Taiwan) still occupies the largest island in the South China Sea, that's Taiping Island. After WWII, Taiwan received 8 retired US NAVY ships, as soon as these 8 ships arrived in China, the ROC government sailed the fleet to the South China Sea, visited the major islands, named the islands after the names of the 8 ships and people's names, "Taiping" is one of the names of the 8 ships, soon the 9/11-dash line was officially published, and ROC received to no objection from anyone, not the US, not the UN, not the Soviet, not the Philipines etc. That's the brief origin of the 9-dash line, the Chinese navy has always been weak, PRoC navy and air force couldn't enforce the 9-dash line until recent years, there is absolutely no possibility for China to retreat from the 9-dash line when its economy and military strength are becoming world's number one, even if the man-made islands do sink in the future, which I think is not at all going to happen, you need to trust Chinese engineers on infrastructure constructions.
Too many stories floating around on Tofu dreg construction.
This seems to be a scam
Saying the Channel is not biased against China is far far reach. Alot of videos in this channel past 6 month have so many digs against China its not remotely subtle. There is nothing wrong with it but don't pretend to be otherwise.

Recap by Tammy AI
you must be from taiwain....
@@jetli740 You must be from "chainai".
I almost had to stop when you got to the Chinese aircraft carriers. The type one is a training carrier, the type two is a demonstration carrier. Basically to show china could build one. Neither of these carriers have as much offensive power as a Wasp class LHD lightning carrier. The type three is also a demonstration carrier, one that will take about a decade between fitting out and sea trials. To be fair it is a huge technological jump and a legitimate carrier. That said it also has structural issues which make it inferior to a Nimitz class. Never mind they don’t yet have a front line operational plane to put on any of them. Oh and the J-20 isn’t a 5th gen stealth fighter.
edward I do agree lets go NIKI
It's all about doctrine and training. We all know that china's focus is primarily in its backyard. They have no intention of power projection like the US. Using type 003 as training carrier whilst upgrading it at the same time is a smart move on their part.
China: "I have ships"!
America: "I have more than two aircraft carriers"!!
China sad.
China: come within 1200 mile DF17 would like to meet you
ac they have 3 not 2.....and the 004 + 005 ready to be build next year
The land of China is their carrier. Which makes it the largest in this battle.
@@jetli740 Let's pretend that only China has those kinds of missiles.
@@Azmuth01 why pretend? what is your equivalent?
America: "I have more than two aircraft carriers"!!
China: "That's nice. Ten years ago I had none, I now have three, each larger and better than the last. Next one will be nuclear powered, should be in the water soon."
America: "Oh shit......."
There is a dynamic that you have missed and that really matters when discussing China's economic growth on the decade time scales or its military aspirations.... Technology.
Historically, China's meteoric GDP growth was associated with elevated education standards and consequently a much higher capacity to support a technologically intensive industrial base. This was non-trivially aided by the West outsourcing high-tech manufacturing there, Much of China's own technology growth has consequently been driven by either out-right copying of Western tech even to the point of overt theft, or at least treading in the well-worn footprints of the West techno-industrial complex. But here's the thing... Copying the technology paradigm of another country and thus playing technological-catch-up is actually a VERY VERY different process requiring very very different skills, and core-competencies, and most especially institutional culture than forging ahead with novel R&D to advance the state of an industry at the bleeding edge.
China's approach is near-optimal for the catch-up game, but is deeply and profoundly NOT optimized for the bleeding-edge game. There are lots of reasons for this... Broadly they fall into three categories:
1. Economic incentives and return time on investment. Novel R&D is slow and speculative, but the technological catch-up-game is not. You are after all just trying to replicate a technological path that is already known to work and be profitable and doing it with the benefit of hind sight. The result is that bleeding edge novel R&D gets starved of funding because it is a better investment to put that funding into catch-up if there's a huge technological catch-up game to play.
2. Political control. A few years back, a Chinese researcher engaged in human germ-cell genetic engineering. The entire world denounced his research as unethical and dangerous. He got arrested in China. Do you know what crime he had committed as far as China was concerned? Human genetic engineering? Lying to the families whose pregnancies he altered? Ethics violations? Nope, China didn't care about any of that. His crime was GETTING NON-STATE FUNDING for his research! No joke; being scientifically independent of the Chinese government's funding-apparatus was and still remains an actual crime in China! Given the nature of their authoritarian top-down decision making, it is not surprising that this is an integral and necessary feature of R&D funding in China... after all we can't have new disruptive theories and technologies being developed... it might cause the state-sponsored industries to have problems. But centralized R&D control is deeply NOT optimal for bleeding-edge technology development. This is because humans have a proven inability to successfully predict the economic or technological or scientific winner amongst many competing efforts. The USSR saw similar inefficiencies of R&D from centralization for political reasons.
3. Confucianism. In some ways this is the same problem as Number 2, but at a cultural rather than political level. Confucianism is the basis of large fractions of the Chinese culture, and amongst other things, it emphasizes the importance of the young and the lower-ranked respecting and deferring to the wisdom and experience of the their elders. No doubt, that has great value in many circumstances. Bleeding edge technological development and scientific advancement is MOST CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THEM!!!!!!! This can't be emphasized enough. SO MUCH of the ability to push the edge of science and technology is intrinsically being willing to stand up and very publicly say "You are Wrong! And I can not just prove it, but force you to admit it." That is embarrassing your elders is a core-competency for bleeding edge R&D. Without such a corrosive attitude, the entrenched but mistaken theories of yesterday would never or only rarely give way to the innovations of tomorrow. And that is exactly what we have seen happening over and over again in scientific community of China. It is also why China has advanced in certain fields like Quantum Communications where there isn't, at least not yet, a suite of elder Chinese scholars and industrialists whose opinions can not be publicly challenged.
Modern war is a function of TECHNOLOGY more than it even is of MONEY.... so these issues that China has on the technological front suggest that they will be playing second string to Western powers for at least another couple generations.
China can always steal other countries technology because of the other countries technology being easier to access. It certainly isn't the Soviet union and has other advantages so I don't think it will be behind the US in terms of technology. Also the US doens't have the same manufacturing power it once had and stuff costs more in USA.
Many people nowadays have a very short attention span, this is why your comment won't get many likes.
Every like you will get though, is that of a human who hasn't lost his cognitive functions.
It's worth a 100 mindless likes per like.
Well said, it outlines my main issue with China, even though I am still a big supporter of their regime simply because I want to see a multipolar world.
I must admit i had to push myself reading through such a long comment, but i made it, and you're really on point

The Chinese system is very much like the Japanese one in the 80s and 90s. It can transition quickly from catching up to pioneering with the right government subsidies, for example, EV and solar panels. They’ve clearly lead the world by far in those two fields, both quantitatively and qualitatively, be it market share, patent number or growth.
As for non-government funding for research... I’m at a loss here, because there are plenty of private and corporal research facilities that are not funded by the government in China. I’m not sure why anyone will think any different in a globalized world.
As for Confucianism in China, you cannot be anymore wrong. We normal people don’t even think of that. The only part when Confucianism comes into play is this rule: “your place in society is determined by your action”. How virtuous your action is and how well you fulfilled your responsibility determine how others see your place in the society. Therefore, government officials are expected to be the most virtuous and competent they can possibly be, while their policies must be pushed through without question to make the society run more efficiently.
That’s it, that’s where Confucianism’s influence on modern Chinese society ends. In Chinese companies, result is everything. No matter how elderly or respected you are, if you fail to yield results, the boss will replace you with someone more capable. Chinese companies, and East Asian companies in general, are more capitalistic than most other companies in the so-called capitalist countries.
It’s not uncommon for talented young people to quit his job just to make a point and transfer back to his old department as the manager after years in another department. This kind of flexibility and meritocracy is hard to find even in many European companies.
Japanese and S.Korean companies were more rigid in this regard, and superiors often command unquestioned authority from the lower ranks, but that due to stagnation of their economy: since the company isn’t going to expand and offer more jobs, there is no need for talented employees making changes. However much you work, you will be paid the same according to your rank and experience in the office, not according to result.
One might argue that WW1 was (ultimately) caused by Austria Hungary not accepting the fact that they were on the decline. But starting WW1 only accelerated that decline. The same might be said about China if it were to start a world war.
SAME WİTH İTALY ROME İN WW2
the superpower in decline is the US not China lol
Same with the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.
Your comparison is not realistic.

Tofu ships.....
Is this your only argument?
They will surpass the size of the u.s navy with the power of imagination and cgi
No, China won't catch up to the US, because one thing you didn't mention is that the US has a lot of regional (and global for that matter) allies, so it was never and is never about some sort of one verse one cage match between the US and China. Even if you factor in Russia and North Korea weighing in on China's side, they will simply never be able to match the US and its allies. This gets into another point...the US has F-16s stationed in the Philippines now, with more proposed to arrive in the coming years. Japan is also building up its capabilities, as is Australia. South Korea is a powerhouse and the new government there is more in line with the Korean people in their attitudes towards the CCP. And, frankly, people are waking up to how rotten and outright evil the CCP is and has always been (contrary to the narrative that they only got bad under Xi).
Why should worry when US has 800 military bases around the world?
Further more China is very much focus in peace, trades, investment and prosperity with many countries. Whereas US focused on geopolitical tensions.
