For 2025, the Chinese Navy is having a bumper year. According to the U.S. estimate, 3.3 million tons of various new ships will be commissioned in 2025, including the Fujian aircraft carrier, the 075 amphibious assault ship. Just two aircraft carriers alone will bring 1.2 million tons of commissioned tonnage to the Chinese Navy this year. Plus a large number of 055 destroyers, nuclear submarines, 052DL destroyers, and 054B frigates, which is equivalent to the entire tonnage of the French Navy! The total tonnage of newly commissioned ships by the Chinese Navy throughout the year will exceed 20-30 million tons, setting a record for the highest annual tonnage of commissioned warships globally since the 21st century.
The development of the Chinese Navy is steadily advancing, with a significant scale of new ships being commissioned in 2025, demonstrating its growing strength. From building one French Navy every five years to now building one French Navy every year. As an industrialized country that started later, as long as you build fast enough, the public around the world won't have time to change their basic perception, and the fleet will already become a reality. For the French Navy, "How did China secretly build a powerful navy? In just five years, it built a French Navy, how come?" It can be said that the next five years of the Chinese Navy would be enough to build several French Navies, or even one NATO Navy (excluding the US Navy) per year.
The number of Chinese warships has already reached the top in the world, with at least 70 warships in a single fleet. This time, only 40 warships were deployed, about 300,000-ton-class various carriers, large destroyers, destroyers, frigates, collectively surrounding the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, not to mention the underwater nuclear submarines, submarines, anti-submarine aircraft, bombers, fighters, electronic warfare aircraft, early warning aircraft, drones, etc. For us, the number of aircraft carriers is still not enough, and we are only short of the number of aircraft carrier tonnage compared to the US Navy. If we build a few more, the tonnage of the Chinese Navy will be equal to that of the US Navy.
For Western navies, facing the powerful strength of the Chinese Navy, there will not be a historically unprecedented large-scale naval battle. War is fought on industrial capacity; even the United States and the entire NATO's capacity is worrying. How could they have a large-scale naval battle? How dare they fight a large-scale naval battle? And Europeans tend to speculate about others based on their own subjective thinking patterns. Their ancestors developed military power to invade others, so their mindset is that if others develop military power, it's also for invasion. The ability to mass-produce is because we have a complete industrial system and sufficient technical workers, which is a competitive advantage that the West cannot match! Being able to mass-produce with high quality control is the goal of all manufacturing industries. To achieve that is the most remarkable thing, and we have already achieved it now.
