This really is an alarming statistic. We need to invest in America or we're toast. They better right this ship. Luckily the guy running shit is the Energizer Bunny/Bob Barker with sacks made of hemp to support iron deez nuts > 30 ea. & > They may have even split by now, by his 80s my dad swore his split. Figures☺

China's lead in the global commercial shipbuilding market is huge and growing. The country's largest state-owned shipbuilder built more commercial vessels by tonnage in 2024 than the entire U.S. shipbuilding industry has built since the end of World War II.

And now that America has punished and insulted its former friends, allies and trading partners, China stand to reap a great benefit from those countries. Talks have already begun.

China's surface navy is geared toward one thing, invading Taiwan and it's neighbors.

The rest are woefully inadequate against the US Navy in a shooting war.

They have three carriers (two are of old Soviet tech) and while a few more subs they all sound like a cummings diesel underwater compared to US subs....Noisy = Easy to kill.

They are going to buy their shjps from China rather than from the US because the Orangeman was mean to them? WTF?

Yeah, breaking down and sinking their manufacturing is shit.

Trump & his fanboi Elon destroyed USAID, leaving countries like China to walk right in & fill the void. Is there anything that no good gangster fuck does that makes any sense other than lining his pockets?

Could it be the end of the empire, the neocons have tried to impose by force on the world? I hope so.

Here's a clue leftwitches. If they build more ships they're moving more products, kicking our MFing ASS.

Sure glad we have a POTUS who doesn't like to be fucked by anyone other than "Mrs. Wallace"

Yet they do not have enough amphibious ship capability to invade Taiwan.

Attacking maybe. Invading? Nope! Their amphib capability is and always has been their Achille's heel.

For many years, the riddle was how Americans could sell their soul to this person. Now, it's what is his angle here?

I don't think the rubes are being told what's happening beyond their porch, or if they'd even understand it.

The euros are already buying as much stuff from china as they need or want

What makes trump haters like Mac1958 think they will buy more now?

 

[whitehall]

The U.S. has been the patsy of international trade for decades. For some reason democrats want to keep it that way. Maybe democrats really hate America.

Can you imagine what's going thru the heads of foreign leaders having to negotiate trade deals, security agreements, peace deals etc with Trump who they know is a corrupt gangster & a moron to boot?

America is done being punished by these 'friends.' China is already in trouble and, unless they relent on their outlandish tariffs, Xi and the commies will fall like rocks. The military is already going against the Xi regime. Xi better belly up to the tariff bar and make a deal before it's too late for him.

 

[MayorQuimby]

China is getting strong/powerful, because the US has allowed her the opportunity to do so. And the reason for this is because US has gone soft. And the reason for that is because the people who run your country (hint: Trump is not one of them) hate America and you. And the reason for that is because they are an alien race. I can't say more because I might get banned again.

I've been watching a lot of overseas commentary on this. It's been similar to what we've seen here (outside of MAGA, of course): A mix of confusion, mockery, exasperation and now anger. They've always looked at him as a con man and a buffoon, but now his actions are affecting them.

They also make a lot of references to European history and what they're seeing unfold here. Just like we say about 90 years ago, they're asking "how are the Americans letting this happen?" -- it's all pretty clear to them, of course, and they don't know how we don't see it.

They realize they can't fully detach from us on trade yet, but they're doing everything they can to create new avenues.

They've pretty much resigned themselves to the fact that Trump is a depraved evil bastard out for revenge. So, who can blame them for preparing for the worse that will come from this guy. He's only just begun.
