BBC Chinese website reported on September 1: "Over the past 20 years, China has significantly increased its investment in shipbuilding and has gained great returns: this year, more than 60% of global shipbuilding orders have gone to Chinese shipyards, and their shipbuilding volume leads the world. At the same time, the number of Chinese warships is increasing day by day. Experts say that the capability gap between Washington and Beijing is shrinking."
[Witty] Comment: Over the past 20 years, China's shipbuilding industry has emerged as a strong force. This year, more than 60% of global orders have flowed into China, and the number of warships continues to rise. The balance of power at sea in the Western Pacific is quietly reversing. However, we must also remain sober-minded, recognizing that the United States still holds 11 aircraft carriers, while China has only 3. Although the gap is narrowing, it is by no means something to be careless about. China still needs to maintain composure on the path of catching up, face the gap head-on, and move forward steadily toward becoming a maritime power, so that the balance of power can truly reverse.
