China's immense shipbuilding capacity prompts concern in Washington 

Its china's fault again...

USA is concerned, anything Chinese do. What a desperate country?

China is building commercial ships while US is building navy.

1.The US has the advantage of technology. 2. The US needs to catch up with the technology of China. That's just fantastic insight.

Uncle Sam is worried about everything China is good at. Despite being thousands of km away.

everything china did is a problem? lololol

😢The military industrial complex ALWAYS wants more money WHAT about the needs of ordinary ordinary Americans ??

can US say that China have more than 300 times more homeless people than them?

Is Washington complaining about China’s “overcapacity” in combat ships and hypersonic missiles?

US is collaborating with Indian shipyards to have their aircraft carriers and warships repaired and serviced there. This proves how desperate US is to defeat China in anyway whatsoever!

When a country gets worried and openly criticizes and accuses the successes of another nation, it simply shows its admittance of losing, on the global stage. The root cause of its own failure: making any progress to win in any competition requires lots of money, but instead, this country spends huge amounts of money in warmongering efforts and in actual wars, and in building and maintaining over 700 military bases around the world.

Why worry. US can just ask China to build ships for the US navy. :)

A highschool bully comes to A-student and says, "I am concerned with your grade. Why are you getting A all the time?"

The USA just need to mentally be prepared to be No.2. Life will be easier for them.

Another murican national security threat. lol. Keep it rolling.

At US $34 Trillion in debt with nothing much to show for robust investment in homeland civilian infrastructure,healthcare and education...it keeps harping on Chyna ..Chyna.., military adventurism and Bases ...

The truth is that a country of 300 million people will never compete with a country of 1.4 billion people that are more hungry for success and have better worth ethic.

It was 30 years ago Chinese peaked ship building capacity,ur 30years late😢

in the coming days US will complain about China ' s farting

Oh my gosh I am tire of hearing China 🇨🇳 from the mouth of United state. You has really kept you on your toes without even shooting a shot

Emerica can’t fight and win when it have men paint their nails and wear dresses!

😂😂China is just minding its own business

Shouldn't they be worried about the have-nots, declining middle class, and ever-growing homelessness instead of who builds more ships and cars than them?🤔

why is the stars and stripes the leading story - no local news or is washington controlling the fear in singapore about china's investments

Is there anything China does not concern US?

China has 5000+ ships? They're counting fishing boats and rubber dinghies vs carriers. Such drama queens in congress.

US Navy will not allow any ally to build the complete combat ship for its navy for fear of leakage and espionage. So that means each ally will build only certain parts of a combat ship and eventually the entire ship will be assembled in the USA. This will make shipbuilding costs extremely high!

not so long ago america was bragging about how great and superior they are in every thing. how time has change.

Put simply I can build but you can't, or at least you should slow down pace wait for me, otherwise it's a national security threat. LMAO

CNA is like a mini BSB NEWS.

murica really has syndrome of crisis of confidence

S.Korea more worry , but this is to help EU . 2024-4-29, China State Shipbuilding Corporation will build 18 ultra-large LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers with a capacity of 271,000 cubic meters for Qatar Energy Company. The signing ceremony was held in Beijing today (29th), setting a record for the world's largest single shipbuilding order.

(Washington Receives a WARNING from the IMF to STOP SPENDING)

Isn't it obvious for Asian who has Spine to choose?

So why USA don’t make more ports and shipyards ? Why ? Ohhh yes. Spending money on wars

It's more important than ever to support each other. Buying local helps all of us in Singapore thrive. Let’s do this together! 🌟

(China take a breath).... Usa " you threatening me! "

The emperor has no clothes. There is a new boss in town, and the name is China.

You can't focus on creating your own while focusing on your neighbor. Jealousy makes you unproductive 😂

This is a deterrent for potential Chinese naval action in the Taiwan Strait and West Philippine Sea.

Sorry, but this gentleman is unfamiliar with the capabilities of the Chinese PLAN. You SHOULD have had a CHINESE military expert on, not a Japanese analyst with, obviously, limited knowledge of the PLAN. Please, if you're going to address Chinese issues bring on CHINESE EXPERTS WHO ARE CHINESE, not others biased by Western Influence. CN developed and tailored its mobile land-based hypersonic missile systems to cover past the second island chain including S. Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Guam, Philippines, everything in between, Singapore, and even out into the Eastern Indian Ocean. They are unstoppable! This is the most advanced A2/AD integrated air/land defense system in recorded military history! This does not include CN's air and sea, surface and sub hypersonic capabilities and sub and land launched ballistic and nuclear glide vehicles that cover the Entire US and most of the world. China's Navy is the technology MOST advanced in the world, tech newer than US, offensive and defensive weapons newer with longer ranges. Superior electronic warfare and AI autonomous air and sea drone capabilities including several test drone aircraft carriers. Satellite Aperture Radar looking down on planes and ships eliminating all stealth characteristics. Undersea acoustic sonar network across the East and South China Seas to Guam and off the US coast by a nuclear sun base. The US government reports that China can build 200 warships to every 1 for the US at maximum capacity during wartime.

Dumb Strategy to build your naval fleet in front of your adversary. What is going happen if war break out? No replacement ships.

It has become obvious to me that CNA simply regurgitates memes that emanate from Washington. How unimaginative and reflects very badly on CNA's editorial team.

It's a military strategy. Beijing has to do something, to be able to break the encirclement.

美国的担忧恰恰暴露出他知道自己赢不了中国，如果你发现追赶你的人离你越来越近而你却无法甩开那么毫无疑问是因为你跑的太慢

The US builds 2 ships, China builds 30

You folks should grow up and be more independent and more critical instead of always following what Washington, DC tells you what to think and do.

The world's most powerful military that don't want to fight no country by itself

Basically the Mafia boss expecting a big country having small capacity in ship building..so controlling

One of the biggest issues the us has is a fear of friendly neighbors helping with things like shipbuilding and steel. Japan and Soith Korea arent having any problems being competitive in shipbuilding and steel, because they both use heavily modernized, automated, and robotized strategies with excellent industrial engineering to back it... Still, when Nippon wanted to buy and modernize US steel, it was rejected. When South Korea and Japan wanted to help modernize US shipbuilding, the US refused. There is a role for protectionism in some cases, but definitely not in all cases. At this point it reminds me of the knee jerk reactionary protectionism of WW2.

Let me guess, Yellen would call it over capacity.

Comment of the year ' the US has a lot of catching up to do'!

4 Day Work, Remote Working, etc.....how can capacity ever be met with these Employment trends?

Yellen should lecture them , U$A Navy has overcapacity. Tax $ and the $ printer just can't keep up.

US Allies are nuts. CNA is naive too.

Looks like they converted an oil tanker

100 years ago...China's Beiyang fleet was very intimidating to all the asian powers. Even Imperial Japan was scared of it. Imperial China/Imperial Japan got into a fight and the Beiyang fleet, great on paper (with great ships imported from colonial powers), collapsed like paper.

China better hurry up and Copy this ship design 🤣

Pretty sure the professor was clueless on this subject

So Japan, Philippines, Thailand, South Korea etc., build us ships, then who will build their own ships 😂😂😂 This is what happened to European countries who relied on US for so long that their military is weaker and they are far behind US the weapons industry

So US only build military equipment 😂😂 China 🇨🇳 build ships for business

It is doable, By the end of World War II the U.S. Navy had 7,601 ships, including 28 aircraft carriers, 23 battleships, 71 escort carriers, 72 cruisers, over 232 submarines, 377 destroyers, and thousands of amphibious, supply and auxiliary ships.

This Japanese professor has a good evaluation and analysis.

what cause US shipping to collapse is a stupid US law that say ship travelling between US port must be US owned and US crew. and that the US navy had the right to commandeer any US owned ship and press any US sailors into service. the end result is shipping company just stop shipping goods between US port altogether. no more trade = no more need to build ship = no more shipyard.

The American politician said China had 5500 naval ships to US 200, a total lie. Currently China has 355 ships, the US 301. However, in tonnage, the US leads because it has 11 nuclear carriers vs China's 3 non-nuclear carriers. Having said that, in Congressional testimony, at any one time, the US has only 75 ships that are combat capable, the rest need refitting, maintenance, or replacement. What scares the US navy is that China will have 450 ships in this decade and the US at most 390. China's navy is focused on the indo-pacific oceans and the US is spread worldwide. Regarding shipbuilding, South Korea and Japan are strong in ship building and some European countries likewise. The Philippines has a large naval base in Subic, but its shipbuilding capabilities are close to nil. Taiwan has a limited ship building capability, but nothing approaching China's carrier capabilities. The US has one yard capable of super carriers and a second if improved. A congressional report said that China had 14 naval shipyards vs US 4. China does have two yards capable of super-sized carriers and we will see that when China builds carriers 004 and 005. China also has one yard capable of upwards of 6 submarine builds. Bottom line: If the US needs more yards, it needs to spend the funds not only in physical facilities, but the training of yard workers to competently build naval ships. If as the Japanese professor suggested, the US could take advantage of Japanese and South Korean naval shipyards with classified equipment contracted to US suppliers. Instead of wasting money on $13 billion super carriers, the US navy is rethinking its fleet composition with more smaller ships because drones and missiles are becoming the main features of modern warfare. China already has that composition and its increase in numbers is focused on destroyers, frigates, corvettes, and submarines. BTW, even Russia is thinking of buying warships from China. There are media reports that Russia may buy a frigate from China and try it on for size.

What is not addressed here is the quality of the crews. Unfortunately, the US Navy has noticeably declined in this respect in recent years.

Desperation 101...😅

The US is all about restricting and breaking.

WE AS A COINTRY HAS BUILT A COMMERCIAL SHIP SINCE 2003. YOU. SHOULD BE CONCERNED

I do not think the USN is terribly concerned about the PLA navy and its tofu dreg ships.

Does US still maintain their shipbuilding capability to repair ship in time if ship is damaged during war time? They gradually losing this capability and will no longer dominate ocean in near future

Since when did cna become a mouthpiece for Washington?

Being concern, doesn't improve capability

US Naval War College has a warning for American military planners: In naval warfare, the bigger fleet almost always wins.

Why is CNA even bother to give this thing news worthy!?

The design and, probably, the cost, portray the decline of what was the largest and most powerful navy in the world. A crude adaptation of a large commercial vessel for military purposes. How far has it come? They seem to have in mind that if it is sunk, as it probably will be, the damage will be much less. A beautiful example of how the country's military budget is doing. This type of adapted vessel will really see a lot of action on the bottom of the sea

Didn’t President Kennedy said “A country is only as strong outside as it is inside”. The USA wants to be the only Superpower, but great power comes great responsibility. Also being a great superpower comes greater financial responsibility.

USA should be concern on the genocides happening in Palestine.

US was showcasing the aircraft carriers museums, until now as China show new vessels to overtake US Museums.

U$A: A strong military can safeguard its interests China: Learn from U$A If U$A can safeguard its interests without consequences then any country with the capability can and will follow in the footsteps of the US. Wealth(GDP) needs to be protect with relative military. A rich family can employ relative amount of security guard to protect his wealth, but when his poor neighbor work very very hard to get rich but not allow to employ relative amount of security guard to protect his wealth？ 😢 8 wolf came to eat up China when it was rich. After WWII no wolf pack want to visit poor China. Now China is rich again , the wolf pack return..... Furthermore, the wolf pack is already at door step.

Don’t worry Americans! Chinese are focusing peaceful commercial shipping more than war ship.

You must built your infrastructure well and fast so you can catch up

World most powerful nation now is china USA is no more no,1 USA is now only no,3 after Russia because china and Russia have the most powerful hypersonic icbm but USA doesn’t have yet and other matters china has more than 4 million soldiers and Russia has 2.5 million soldiers but USA has not more than 6 hundred thousands soldiers so can you say USA is most powerful country in the world, that is totally false.

The world is more concerned about the US army base around the world then China ship building industries.

those who studied world history esp war & politics. knows what this is all about & expected to happen. last time, Japan got its A handed over them. our country also has an ugly record vs wests BUT im hoping this time history wont repeat itself

US is worried china can build ships wow

Singapore has many shipyards , why not build for US Navy ?

20yrs from now the seven seas shall be roaring with HMS Nyatsimba Mutota Uraaa

Achor badly wanted the host to say a superior in missile technology than china.😅

Chinese Made Ships Are The Worst Ships I Swear My Last Ship Was Made In China Vessel But The Vessel Was 😕😕 And The Vessel Was Build In A Year Of 2007...Nobody Can Takeover Japanese In Shipbuilding...

US…… Duh what gender am I? China…. gets on with taking care of business building and advancing

All sovereign countries must report to US lol

US is having a BAD SLEEP again 😂😂😂

CHINA 🇨🇳❤

What good does concerning do? If you are concerned, can new ships come out of thin air?

That's where the Torpedo bombers come in, i mean in WW2, the US was at first quite equal to the navy of the emperial japanese navy. Until the swarm of aircraft started, Air superiority conquered the seas.

China will copy that design

US shouldn't rely only american ship builder's.

Why is CNA even reporting this. Arnercia is again blaming their own inadequacies on others... this should not even news worthy.
