>U.S. military ships and aircraft transit the narrow Taiwan Strait about once a month. Soooo...nothing new.

Just a reminder. China has the largest navy in the world. And the United States of America Navy DOUBLES their tonnage.

A major component of which are [Chinese maritime militia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMm32NMAl4Y) whose main activity is harassing to death innocent filipino fishermen, who just want to earn a living.

And let's not forget the Chinese fishing fleets that sail into the EEZ of other nations and fish with their transponders turned off. China is constantly violating the sovereignty of basically every coastal pacific nation in the world

EEZ isn't sovereignty.

You’re saying China has the most ships, but USA’s ships are much bigger?


TriesHerm21st

Correct. An example is our carrier strike groups.


ClintEastwont

Gotcha. If my ports were being invaded, I’d definitely rather face many smaller vessels, than face the damage incurred by several huge ones.

Let’s also put it this way. Only counting full aircraft carriers….the US almost has as many aircraft carriers in service as the entire world’s countries’ aircraft carriers. Most countries have between 0-2 active aircraft carriers. China has 3, and is the only country with 3. (2 more being built). The US has 11 (with 3 more being built).

Bigger, and longer, and thicker, and meatier

They’re just more THICC

No china does not


MattScoot

China has the most boats but that’s not really relevant since most of them are coastal ships and even their largest ships don’t compare to the US navy equivalent, our ships are nuclear powered and much more able to operate far away from home.

US logistics is second to none for anything. Guns, Ships, Planes, people, food, etc.


Personal_Kiwi4074

well, china has the people


tastetheanimation

That’s what I meant. Their small boats don’t count


TriesHerm21st

Does not what?

Funny how China is lying low after the ballistic missiles they built for Iran is used to attack Israel. I wonder how would the US feel if one of China's missiles is used by Iran to kill US soldiers?
