Foreign media stated that China's submarine power is rising strongly, threatening the U.S. Navy's hegemony. On September 12, according to AFP, French media said that China has invested heavily in developing a submarine fleet capable of competing with the U.S. Navy, which poses a major challenge to Washington, which has been plagued by serious manufacturing problems since 2022. The Chinese Navy has received special attention from the Beijing government, and the Chinese government plans to build it into a force capable of countering the U.S. Navy over the next few decades.

Although the number of Chinese Navy vessels ranks first in the world, its tonnage is not as high as that of the United States, and its ability to project maritime power is also lower than that of the U.S. Navy, which has 11 aircraft carriers. China's huge advantage in the production capacity of submarines may undermine the U.S. naval supremacy that has lasted since the end of World War II. Obviously, it is the United States that continuously invests military resources to block us, but we did not expect the United States to turn the blame on us, claiming that we are threatening the United States.

Why do we continue to invest in the navy? Our purpose is only one: to make the United States learn to cherish peace. From the comparison of the strength between the Chinese and American navies, our number of aircraft carriers is still too small, and our nuclear submarines are also not many. When we have the same number of aircraft carriers and the same number of advanced nuclear submarines as the United States, the United States will be more peaceful than ever. At that time, at least the situation around China will be that there will be no incidents in the South China Sea, no incidents in the Taiwan Strait, and the Korean Peninsula will be more peaceful and stable. It is right for the United States to feel anxious and worried; the more anxious the United States is, the more it will restrain its behavior. The world peace needs China to have a stronger military capability. When the United States sees us as an opponent, we should let the United States realize this.
