If you just go by number of vessels, then Disney has the largest fleet.
Ahahha
A lot of China’s navy is small costal patrol boats that they call ships and we here in the US would not. For the US Navy to consider a vessel a ship has to be over a certain tonnage, China calls about anything that floats a ship.
A ship is something that cannot be carried on another vessel (absent modern semi-submersible salvage ships)
True. I wonder if the US coastguard ships are included in these numbers? I don't think so.
@@tyquonjackson7728They aren't as the Coast Guard is its own branch that is regulated by DHS rather than DoD.
Very true. If anything, China's navy would be considered a coastal and not blue water navy.
True
Okay James... I heard the same thing that Millie heard. I froze when you said the the U.S. and Great Britain weren't the best of allies. I am glad that Millie gave you the opportunity to clarify. I hope you are both good. Peace
Millions of Americans regard Great Britain our first first genetic cousins and we speak the same basic language. I am Anglo German myself. You are our oldest brethren. My fathers side of the family settled the western Virginia territory in the 1660's. British subjects until 1776.
The vast majority of us over here adore and respect our British brothers and sisters across the sea. Rest assured that the US would absolutely come to the aid should your country need it. Britain isn't spoken about too much in videos like this, but I know lots of people personally that feel the technology and training over there is very advanced and your service people are well trained. It is routine for our militaries to run various drills and share tactics. The biggest issue why you guys are not mentioned is related to the size of the military and some British people feel they don't always have the best kit and equipment. We would definitely back you up when needed, and many of us feel you guys are in a great position to be a leader of that continent, but many of us do not know the priorities of your politicians, so we can't really speak knowledgeably about whether that is a goal, but it should be. Peace through strength and dominance if necessary should be a doctrine because of the part of the world you are in. We would come to your aid, no doubt, but all the logistics still takes time to organize and stage an effective battle plan should it ever come to that. It is why lots of us want to help you prepare for that because it can save thousands and even millions of lives.
God Bless the United States of America and all the men and women serving in our military!!
❤️🇺🇸💝
As far as US military technologies go, its rumored that they are 20 years ahead of what the public knows about their capabilities. So by the time certain technology is declassified and told to the general public, its already 20 year old technology.
@frudog Its more like a 100 years, its not even a competition. Could we lose some assets, for sure, but the outcome would be swift and leave any country to just surrender or risk everything, even the latter would be horrible for anyone.
China is the only country (after Soviet collapsed) that U.S. didn't defeat militarily - the Korean War is still technically "a cease fire". China had produced great generals, Cao Cao, Zhu Geliang, Sun Tzu, Mao Zedong, etc. They are very cunny in welfare, so the U.S. should not overlook.
@@brianhums5056Seriously, that makes me feel so much better! I LOVE our military! ❤
@@brianhums5056I don’t know where you get this 100 years crap. Yes we’re ahead but you’re pulling numbers out of you butt.
The weakness of the US is losing people. Too many deaths and the US will fades.
There are U.S. supply ships sitting in docks ready to go to any place in the world to give humanitarian aid at any time. Who else does that? No one.
You're right. NO ONE. And still our country is hated. 😢 Damned if we do, and damned if we don't. We just can't win. I love my country! ❤
Not to mention how many aircraft’s sit on them ships, in all nato countries. We are not going to be scared ever
Also the US Navy can commandeer the US Coastguard for additional vessels
@@TheRapnep
Indeed
Not to mention 2 entire hospital-ships.
The "largest" navy is not the same as the most "powerful" Navy. China counts all of their little Patrol Craft. They have more Submarines than anyone else. BUT, only 12 are nuclear powered. Plus, a US Attack Sub trailed a Chinese sub easily because the sub was so noisy. The Chinese never knew our sub was there.
Lol rewound it like "did he just say we're not good allies and he doesn't know what we're up to?" I was like wtf. Glad M then called you out on that hahah
It doesn't take things like our laser defense system and other things into play like AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System
We have 11 super carriers and currently are building a new class which will eventually replace all the Nimitz class.
We also have 10 "Amphibious Assault Ships" of the Wasp and America Classes which in reality are just light carriers designed to support an amphibious invasion. Oh and we're actively building more of the America Class. So by technicality you can say the US has 21 Carriers, 11 Super Carriers and 10 "Light" Carriers.
@@ThatGuyOrby Forgot about those.
And another way of putting that is all 11.
Nobody else has nuclear powered aircraft carriers that can put a small Air Force anywhere in the ocean. We built and own all of them.
We have Dozens of Retired museum Aircraft carriers that are more technologically advanced than China's aircraft carriers.
Mark 13:26. Notice that to make the comparison the top one is flipped as indicated by "MARINE"! Also that colorful emblem isn't a star on a striped bar!
U.S. navy aircraft carriers use an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System that catapults the planes so no need for a ramp. They used to use steam engines. And the video mentions that right after I write this, lol.
The Ford class are set to replace the Nimitz class but that don't mean we can't keep using the Nimitz
With today's technology, it (a war) will not be a numbers game. We have x, they have 2x, so therefor they will win. There are so many factors not to mention what is not released for the general public's consumption by the US military
Fact!
The US Navy doesn't "fear" another navy because we count our ships by TONNAGE, not by numbers. Which is why all those little "attack boats" don't bother us due to the fact that you would have to swarm 100's of them to be effective against US Navy assets. Either the air-cover, the rapid response defense systems, the subs OR over-lapping defense systems will basically cost you your ENTIRE "attack boat" fleet for MAYBE 1 or 2 US ships... and even then, it may not actually "sink" ship, but simply damage it and requires a few months in dock to repair.
And yes we have 11 supercarriers but we have much more assault ships which are carriers among themselves
US allies in Asia also have to figure into the equation. China firing missiles at American forces in the region will be considered an act of war on the host countries. That automatically draws them into the fray. Japan has the world's fourth largest navy by tonnage and has trained to work with the US Navy. The stronger China's military becomes, its neighbors have to respond in kind.
China isnt brave enough to fire at America. That's why they'll never invade Taiwan, they're not even remotely ready to take on the US.
Whatever the us shows they have in technology I can promise you it’s either last or second to last technology they are showing
The amount of planes on all 11 of the carriers totals 770 fighter planes just a heads up
Can do ungodly damage with 770 fighter planes
As well the US Navy has nine amphibious assault ships used primarily for helicopters, although these also each carry up to 20 vertical or short take-off and landing fighter jets and are similar in size to medium-sized fleet carriers.
h7671 actually 22 had 11 Nimitz class now 11 Ford class
@codyh7671 yep
does indeed say "don't know what the US is up to" James 😂, rewound that
The US does have the biggest navy in the world by far. It’s not even close. If I remember correctly, our navy is bigger than the next 7 biggest combined
China would count a fishing boat as part of its Navy tbh. Btw china catches up so fast because they steal all the blueprints for american designs
American fighters have more powerful radars which allows them to fire a missile at a target they can’t even see. Hence Chinese fighters would only see a missile suddenly coming towards them before even seeing the enemy.
American missiles are also extremely smart; they can communicate with aircraft in order to transmit data, as well as are capable of detecting various targets of high priority to focus on important targets.
I’m a new subscriber from the U.S. and I just wanted to say that the military never reveals what it’s working on …it’s classified we could be building a aircraft carrier drone just saying
The irony is I could actually see it happening...
Experience matters even apart from the Navy.. How many missiles has the US fired in every war you can think of.. Experience matters
Just remember early into WW2 we were not #1. President Roosevelt gave an order not just to auto manufacturers but to all manufacturers in the country “ you will manufacturer for the war or not manufacture at all”. Through this we became what we are and we will do it as many times as it takes.
She was correct about what you said....
Their flags are up from their government, ours are flying by free individuals.
Fact!
America has more war time Navel experience, and the highest level of technology that we invented, and have 225 years of training in all things maritime. And with our vital allies like the very experienced British, Japanese. And Austria to just name a few.
Go Austrian Navy
also don't forget the US is one of the 3 navies in the world that has extensive carrier operations experience. You can have a carrier, and you can have peace time training, but nothing beats doctrine forged by actual wartime experience
"Check the tape"😃
China can say all they want about their navy. Most of the rest of the world knows they couldn’t hang. Our Navy alone could defeat the entirety of Chinas combat command. And they could do it with existing ships. However, if the active Navy ships isn’t enough, we also have our mothball fleet. China isn’t a problem. Lol
I honestly thought James was saying that Americans are unreliable Allie’s. I was taken aback. 😂
My bad I meant China 🤣🤣
@@TheBeesleys99 He totally said America, I am sure he meant China, but...we know
There is not one war the brits have won without US assistance.
😂Could you imagine the headlines on the news: "TH-camrs from Jersey Island spark international conflict with recent rhetoric concerning the relationship between the U.S. and U.K.!"🤣
We kind of have been lately.
The buildings that they put up are also 1 day build quality
aircraft carriers rule the sea and it would take the next seven countries combined to surpass the number the US has
Understand an old phrase - Quantity has a quality of its own
James, you did say we don’t know what the US are up to and we weren’t the best of allies …bless your heart!
Japan has mostly support ships and minesweepers designed for only clearing waters of explosives, nothing really substantial in their arsenal. They became an exclusively support type military after ww2 providing only equipment and manpower along with the occasional help in operations with people on the ground. However Japan has the biggest civilian fishing fleet in the world next to Norway.
China does have an aircraft carrier which barely floats and the navy is only for small jumps to Taiwan which they can’t reach so pretty weak. The high speed rail in China is actually a poor copy of the Japanese bullet train and is derailing occasionally in tests.
The new American high speed trains are also Japanese designs but they are actually willingly given to us but with our own improvements for safety measures and other things to adapt to the American technology landscape. The Miami monorail system is definitely a Japanese design but different as it is automated stops but we added manual controls as a backup on the trains in case something happens which it does. It’s a matter of technology as things change we have to add or subtract things to improve them.
I'd think the navy has something to counter those missiles by now.
They do they just won’t say it
Millie is correct
U need to learn that, mate. The lady is always right.
@@dkajj , i don't think so. 😊
@richchie71 happy wife, happy life. 😊
If we are counting any floating object while not Iran as #1 with its thousands of speedboats?
@@dkajj, yes dear lol
You did say, "Because, y'know, we don't know what the U.S. is up ta". Millie was definitely correct on this one.
I believe the carriers with the ski jump ramp don't have launch systems. That's why they require the ramp.
When you counting fishing boats and tugboats part of naval fleet like China does, there really is no comparison to the US.
Build "fake" carriers in the desert for BOMBING practice. Also can be used to planning attacks with soldiers.
Ski-ramp launch allows for more time for planes to "veer off" when launch fails, but is SLOWER. Catapult launch system is FASTER to launch multiple ships... and ironically actually allows the ship to launch in a "turn" if it has to in order to "veer" from failures. Most of the time they don't launch "in a turn" due to the speed of the catapult giving planes enough time to bank/eject... but they CAN.
It's one thing to compare/contrast 'navy's' and such, but to get a better idea 'of any conflict' you have to account for 'everything' and that's what the noted simulations have done, not to mention the 'other simulations' since. We're developing missile systems that are dropped from transport aircraft! And we have thee biggest transport fleet ever. She was making a point known as 'numerical superiority' - and yes that needs to be factored into any 'real' comparison. "We" used it to our advantage in WWII. Let me add something else. The Ukraine war! Just as it started it was 'expected' that Ukraine would fall... Thank god it didn't and thanks to all Ukrainians! The great Russian 'empire'/'war machine' showed it's real fault - the lack training and servicing of military hardware. We also suspect that China's military is in a similar situation. That's part of one of the points in this video - 'sortie' or 'operational capability.' Our ability to fly them day or night and in all weather! So... "Air War" with them - F-22 Raptors of the US Air Force and the F-35's (of various services) would ensure Air Dominance; with that one point alone - its hard to do anything in any war! As the simulations pointed out - as long as we don't 'be stupid' and put our Carriers in 'stupid positions' the 2 noted carriers that were sunk may survive. But that doesn't account for the remaining 9 available to be re-deployed, I would presume that if a 'shooting war started' - at least 2 more would be on the way (and other contingencies brought into play because of the initial simulations). So Air & Water would be covered. "The Ground War" - is almost an entirely different situation; and I would presume that 'we' would not put troops in mainland China, Taiwan - Yes; but mainland China - no.
At the end of the day, the US is the only nation on Earth equipped to fight a two-ocean war, and has had that ability for the last 75 years. China is nowhere near that capability, nor do they have any experience in that.
We are losing that capability
@@chrissauter7501 how so?
@samuelgodsey1327 themilitary has changed over the past 25 years I. How leaders are allowed to deal with the cherries. I have personally seen it. Also, with everything we are giving to Ukraine, we depleting our third level supply of munitions and our military industrial complex, as it currently is, is unable to keep up. There is nothing currently planned, to replace the @70 year old B52s, the 40+ year old B1s, the Bradley's or the Abrams. Not to mention that certain social policies have now infected the military in such a way that "training" on those issues are deemed more important than training for the war-fighting skills. The military is NOT supposed to be used as a social experiment. Its sole function is to win the wars for us.
We are not losing that capability
China has more hulls, but if you go by total tonnage it’s not even close, the US is far larger and almost all of it’s vessels are blue water capable instead of just for coastal activity.
An additional couple points, the difference between catapult launch carriers and ramped or short runway takeoff carriers is very stark when it comes to the capability of the aircraft that can be carried and flown off of a carrier. While short takeoff aircraft are marvels, they are generally not in the same class as catapult launched fighters such as the F/A 18 Hornet/Super Hornet. Also, the Chinese carriers currently in operation are not nuclear powered, so have limitations in range and amount of time they may be operational without refueling. While likely effective at opposing it’s neighborhood rivals like Vietnam and the Philippine Navy, the Chinese vessels are outclassed currently against US or French carriers due to being based on the Russian short take off Kuznetsov class design, and being limited to regional combat deployment.
Yeah, the the little jumpy things are rather amusing. How many Nimitz we got.
Just a quick note less boats that can track and engage many at one time is crazy thought and quantity but quality
I think it was Stalin who was asked about the comparison between Soviet and American quality. His answer perfectly supports Millie's point. He said: "Quantity has a quality of its own". *Enough* "good enough" will beat fewer "best" every time. (key word: enough)
She was right how you put it made me be like what is he talking about we are like brothers with the uk.
6:25😂 that ships already falling apart
Some previous comments added 1/2 of China's navy is patrol boats. The US doesn't count reserve, merchant fleet and most of our patrol boats and cutters are classified as US Coast Guard. A US Navy warship is a real ship with a lot of weight, firepower and technology and training. China's Navy is 20 years behind the US.
The UK's two Queen Elizabeth class carriers also use the "ski jump" type deck. Along with China, Russia, India, & Italy. Only the US (11), France (1), and Brazil (1) use catapult type launch systems. There are more countries that have, what in the US we call Helicopter carriers (we have nine), smaller versions that cannot launch a conventional fighter aircraft. They can however launch VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft, such as the F-35B.
💙America is Great! Unstoppable!💙
Chinese considers even converted fishing boats "warships", they don't have a separate coast guard force like we do
Row, row, row your boat......
Quality not quantity. The combat management and control systems are heads and shoulders above Chinese combat situations analysis
"Check the tape.".... She was right, he said US
Just as the narrator said, U.S. Naval and Marine Aviators are the ONLY pilots in the world that practice and execute night time and adverse weather condition carrier flight operations. No other country attempts it. China has the numbers perhaps, but they definitely don't have the experience or capability.
The US Navy Aircraft Carriers are at least a generation ahead of Chinese carriers, the same is true for nearly all Naval ships, that being said quantity is a quality all it's own.
Quantity is a quality only if you can replace that number fast so you can just keep throwing it at them. In reality they would be sunk without doing ANYTHING except trading a ship for a missile. Not a good trade off. As of this moment no one can face 5th Gen fleets and the US is the only one who has them and the US has the f35b which goes on carriers
@@danbobway5656 As a Navy vet who worked in combat analysis, having done deployments in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters on surface and subsurface platforms. I have a comprehensive understanding both capability and capacity of the Navy. The Chinese Navy is a rapidly growing concern in both terms of capacity and capability. I stand firmly on my statement that quantity is a quality all it's own.
@@jonpoetzl126 how far offshore can their quantity go? Arent they mostly littoral?
@@shalakabooyaka1480 Keeping China contained in the Pacific currently isn't the primary concern. Keeping China contained from a blockade of Taiwan, Japan and other strategic shipping lanes is a more difficult prospect, the quantity of vessels dilutes our assets leaving then increasingly vulnerable. China invading the US is unrealistic
Reagan’s target in the 80’s was a 600 ship Navy.
Thumb Up #393! 👍 You're welcome! Thanks! 😊
Notes: The shade of gray used on the Chinese carriers reminds me of the shade of gray used on the "Queen Elizabeth". Like they are all so new that they still have that factory fresh shine to them.
But not being nuclear-powered, they will soon like any ship with a smoke stack does, be smudged. For now, not even aircraft exhaust seems to have smudged anything.
I didn't see skid/scuff marks on the flight decks yet!
Namaste! 🙏
5:35 You paused the video where he explained they use a catapult system.
Edit: The Chinese planes wouldn't even touch the 5th generation fighters from the US, this isn't a video game. Also the new carriers they're making will still be inferior, their nuclear technology might not even work properly lol numbers aren't everything 700 ships won't necessarily beat 300 just because there's more of them
They're about 2 decades behind and haven't done anything but training while the US Navy since WW-2 has been in multiple naval operations from the Korean war to desert storm
Additionally no one has the experience in naval aviation that America does. America has continuosly had numerous aircraft carriers at sea since WWII.
@@user-kg7co9vi5r and we've had plenty of conflicts to test out weapons and tactics something China doesn't have
I wonder if China would be willing to take a share of oceanic policing, the US and its allies act as security for maritime commerce. They also act as first responder to many catastrophes. An American aircraft carrier providing humanitarian relief in Haiti doubled the hospital capacity. America is not perfect but it does make a great effort at its meeting responsibilities. We have made MREs that comply with cultural dietary restrictions for disaster relief. Not perfect but trying.
@@JustMe-gn6yf Sadly, it is true that our experience is a very real advantage in addition to our equipment. I was born in 1960 and we have been in an active war for the majority of my life and I'm not even counting all the skirmishes, so to speak.
One thing they didn't mention is that their newest and (not) best carrier is in dry dock with three huge cracks on its aft deck. Copy from the Russians and see how long it floats.
I worked at Naval Operations Base, Norfolk, Virginia
That large cargo ships waiting in Rapid deployment
I just found your video's. I love your stuff.... Thank you for quality content. 😀
including their commercial fishing fleet as part of the chinese navy is hardly cause for concern to the US Navy
China counts canoes as navy vessels the US does not. You also have to look at the fact that China's boats spend more time in dry dock than on the water. The US Navy is 25-30 years and at minimum 1 gen ahead of the Chinese Navy. If you add marines and other vessels from other branches in the US military we are still the largest. China does not split it up like the US does. We also have the mothball fleet that is not counted. 7:10 Really James the US and UK not the best of allies? You got caught in 1080p brother. lol
How many fleets does China have?
We're not the biggest, just most advanced
The US is not in War mode. If the US is thrust into war...the US War Production is activated. For instance, In 1941, prior to the US entry into WWII, the US Navy consisted of just nine battleships, three aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers, 50 destroyers, 33 submarines, and 100 patrol bombers.
By the end of 1945, the U.S. Navy had 7,601 ships on V-J Day in August 1945, including 28 aircraft carriers, 23 battleships, 71 escort carriers, 72 cruisers, over 232 submarines, 377 destroyers, and thousands of amphibious, supply and auxiliary ships...in under four years.
Mark 19:56. Haha! Taiwan is the part of China that didn't become a Communist nation when the mainland part of China did! The narrator just explained that!
But to be fair, I had to see the movie, "The Last Emperor" to learn about China having a three-sided civil war, that Imperial Japan took advantage of tremendously! 😁
It's rumored that china's new super carrier's run way already split open
China counts everything that can float… including all of the ships that are on par with trash cans with decent lids on them. 😂
And the majority are not capable of deep water operations mostly coastal boats
Or somewhat shaped like a boat.
They literally count tanks that aren't functional.
@@controlZchannel exactlyyy 😂 cracks me up
@@controlZchannel and we're overlooking the biggest liability for their military which is it's made in China
@@JustMe-gn6yf🤣🤣🤣
He is supposed to race the indy road course this weekend. That type of track is a road course.
It's not just the number and weight of ships that count. It's do you know how to use them. The US has been using aircraft carriers since WWII. The Chinese? Yeah, they're just beginning to learn how. Also, very few blue water navies can compare to the US and so far, the Chinese haven't proven themselves a capable blue water navy. Back in the 1970's I was deployed 3 times to the Mediterranean. During those times my ship completed numerous UNREPS or underway replenishments, taking on fuel and supplies at sea from special fueling/cargo ships. But we had it down to a science and the Soviets would watch us like hawks trying to figure it out. We once watched a Soviet task force attempt this. They managed, but at a pace so slow it literally made them targets for HOURS. Each of our ships generally finished in 30 minutes. I truly doubt the Chinese are any better.
The first aircraft launch was in 1910 from the USS Birmingham. The first landing on a plane on a carrier was in 1911. The US has been working on aircraft launching and landing aircraft from a ship for over 100 years.

The Great Mariana Turkey Shoot, need I say more? 😎
The question of quality vs quantity is a big one. Both matter a lot, and a substantial advantage in either makes for a one sided conflict.
The US traditionally has had a balance with a lean towards quantity. During WW2 a German general famously said that 1 German tank was worth 4 American ones, but the Americans always had 5.
The difference between the 2 countries is intelligence. The United States is decades ahead of China. Yes China is making progress and becoming a real threat but while they are doing that the United States is getting more advanced themselves
well, until a couple of yrs ago...
I'll just say this: the world shouldn't get mad at the US when we prepare for what you say you have.
Most of our jets look like bumblebees on radar doing Mach 3
I don't know if you've ever seen Who's On First by Abbot and Costello, but if not I would suggest it for a reaction video.
As far as the US military, my dad always said that anything they officially admit to having, they have another 2 generations of tech in reserve.
China's first aircraft carrier was found to have a large crack in the flight deck last year, and the most recently-built one had one as well earlier this year.
They also aren't playing it safe for safety's sake... they just don't want to look bad, or "lose face" as they put it.
A lot of their technological improvement is actually due to industrial espionage... they steal designs, plans, and formulas then claim it's theirs.
Finally, many of those artificial islands are actually disintegrating.
Is it really true? I can't help but wonder why China seems to be constructing at such a lightning pace. The spectacle of buildings rising and, at times, falling like a house of cards initially left many in awe. However, as the story unfolded, it became clear that beneath the breathtaking speed lay a fragile foundation.
Spend on quality, less for quantity. Gulf war quality was decisive.
Notice how when the commentator said how many total warships China has and then how many “ready to deploy” warships the US has. We have a lot more than that, they are just constantly maintaining and upgrading them. We still have way more than China but that wouldn’t sound as good for this video
Though it's true, America has 11 Aircraft carriers, they're never out at the same time. Approx half are being serviced, upgraded, repaired & unavailable at any given time. But, there are other, smaller carriers that also in use. They're not officially called aircraft carriers, but that is their function. They are smaller, typically only have one runway, aren't as advanced, don't have as long a range, etc. We have a fair amount of those. Due to range issues, they are secretly deployed around the world too.
Millie's point is that quantity is a quality all on its own and that is true.
Hmmmmm to a very small degree.
Russian doctrine
@@joedavis2932 Even America is planning weapons like coordinated drone swarms because of this principle, so it is quite valid. There really is no defence for saturation weapons.
Agreed. Just like youth has a beauty all it's own All true but fades . Mass up, better target
Drone swarms and coastal patrol boats/cutters are 2 completely different things I’ll take 1 super carrier with 70-90 planes on it over 75 coastal patrol boats any day quantity doesn’t matter if there is absolutely no quality in it. You still need some quality even if you have quantity
My guess is they are training pilots to recognize US aircraft carrier silhouettes and to practice bomb/missile runs...maybe?? Of course, if this is correct, then they have forgotten it isn't 1945 anymore and you won't get that close.😆😆
Iranians have done the same thing in the desert. Mock ups do not shoot back.
chinese carriers carry 34 fighters a US carrier carries 80+
the ramps restricts the combat loads aircraft can launch with as well
What I took from this is that you are a juice box hero lol. Luv ya my friends 15:05
There's a story about the Korean War: a young officer told a Chinese General, "Sir, the Americans are killing Chinese at the rate of ten to one." - and the Chinese General responded, "Good, pretty soon there'= will be no more Americans left." China does have a large population, and they are familiar with death.
Remember. China is in a birth crisis like any other
Yes they do, and do not underestimate their capabilities. I've heard the stories from my elder military family members (one myself) of their doctrine is overwel by numbers. That is true, however, if you have superior equipment, it evens the playing field. Also, as my great grandfather once said, "Chinese are very good at copying things, they can't develop technology for themselves". They are currently copying everything we have, not using their collective minds to get a leg up on us.
As evidence, the F177 Stealth had taken to the air in the early 1980s yet was only publicly acknowledged in 1991 Gulf war.
@@JO-ly3hi F-117*
And what do their demographics look like? Furthermore, nobody wants to emigrate to China.
I wouldn't bank on this being a 100% truthful video that you're going off of. The US doesn't reveal a lot. We know better.
7:10 youre right though. The us doesnt exactly share everything they do.
Readers Digest version re: Taiwan:
China (People's Republic of China/PRC) believes the island of Taiwan is theirs. Taiwan (Republic of China/ROC) believes they are the true and legitimate China, and technically, the mainland should be under their rule. During the communist revolution, the PRC swept across the mainland and the ROC leaders (who were previously the rulers of all of China) fled the mainland to the island of Taiwan where they continued governing under the same rule. The Taiwanese government is basically an extension of the pre-communist Chinese government. Taiwan is the little bit of China that the communists weren't able to conquer during the revolution. In the view of the Taiwanese, the Taiwan government is the body that should rightfully rule over all of China. In the view of the Chinese Communist Party (PRC government), Taiwan is a rogue province that should be under PRC rule.
Not so much the size and numbers but
QUALITY
They don’t have 3 aircraft carriers. They have 1 operational. Testing another one. Another under work. They count fishing ships as part of their navy. Their technology is 20+ years behind. This video should be listed as false
Quality over quantity 😂
Polymatter has a great video breaking down the US-China tension and the artificial islands.
Rest assured...we Americans are not worried about anything from China. AMERICA IS A PROFESSIONAL MILITARY and the most accomplished, trained, equipped and ready willing and able military in the last 150 years.
The interesting thing about chinas missile system. it relies on a system of satellites to guide them. At the first hint of war, one of the first things we would do would be to wipe the skies of these satellites. We also can easily track these missiles as well...
Don't you think that you're being told what they want you to believe.
Our carriers carry over 70 jets
