Rare Look in Chinese Naval Shipyards Shows Why China Outbuilds the US 

"Is it worth building the Shandong?" Every kind of work gives you experience, provided you do it properly and be perceptive.

Chinese workers are hard working, driven to succeed, and take great pride in their work. This is not just a cultural phenomena, Chinese love their country because their country takes care of them and has visibly improved their quality of life. American workers are lazier and resentful because they see the great inequality which exists in their society and don't feel like their efforts are being rewarded. Most Americans are barely surviving and realize that their government doesn't give a damn about them when it can send hundreds of billions to Ukraine and Israel but can't find money for social security or infrastructure maintenance. This is why China keeps getting better at everything compared to America.

Meanwhile, America is co centrating on building advanced latest gender names

in 1985, Dalian shipbuilder built a 115000 tonnage oil tank for Norway , it is not just 60000 tons bulk carrier

The Shanghai Shipyard is absolutely immense, trillions in materials staged there.

Americans often say that they have quality but they seem to have forgotten that they won World War 2 thanks to their superior number of ships compared to Japan. And love to all my Sinosphere brothers ❤️👍 G'day

An excellent tour (and very interesting historical background). Thank you for such an excellent, and informative, channel!

China's progression over the last 50 years has been astounding! 👏 🇨🇳 .

The last graphic shown in the video, comparing the shipbuilding capacity of China vs USA is apalling!! Says it all.

China has become a superpower and a military power and a leader in many things.

China’s ship building has greatly benefited from economy of scale and intelligent planning by China’s leadership. Their investment in improved shipbuilding processes/technology makes them able to corner the world ship building market based on lower cost. Also top planing keeps the workers steadily employed, and the skilled workers are the key enabler of their success. Compare this to the US administration jerking auto manufacturers around by policy and overriding politics.when the administration forced GM and Ford to commit billions to EkectrIc Vehicles before they were ready, they fell flat with overpriced poor performing EVs doomed to fail against comoetion from Tesla (and now China). The administration went so far as to call Ford the world leader in EVs and literally ignored the existence of Tesla. The resulting big fails of GM and Ford were disruptive and costly. Compare that to China’s approach to many industries, where government policy and material support build centers of world leadership

Just consider how much profit the military industrial complex needs to skim off in the first place? Maybe US the high cost each weapon will probably let the Chinese build 2 or more of the same item at higher quality, right?

At the last Congressional briefing by the Pentagon, it was said that China had 14 naval shipyards to America's 4. These yards stay busy because they build both PLAN and civilian ships. China is the world's leader in ship building.

By logical extension China's efforts to strengthen their military aircraft manufacturing would be greatly boosted by a thriving commercial aircraft industry - from design to production, from certification to MRO. This also means inevitable conflict with the American giant, Boeing. In the opposite direction, if the United States loses commercial aircraft manufacturing to other countries, then their military aircraft manufacturing will also suffer as a result.

Great video lots of information. Thanks

Last graphic says it all...

Didn't realize they were such a manufacturing powerhouse. From the LNG ship build.

Always nice when you end a video with good news!

The capacity of China’s ship building is awe inspiring!

*You could have broken this up into two videos:* 1) Partial History of ship building at a few shipyards. 2) Rare Look into Chinese Naval Shipyards ....

Yo welcome guys. Another video ❤

Thank you for another very informative upload! Learning about the Chinese shipyard evolution and the lessons learned along the way is fascinating!

I used to work in a Japanese EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) Company. That company also have a sister company that is a Shipbuilding Company. I have seen the difference how the asians do strict quality in Design, Engineering, Procurement and Construction. I was able also to work with and American Engineering and Construction Company. To compare between a Japanese and American company has huge differences. Japanese Engineers and Designers work with Patriotism and Nationalism. They work at least 12 hours a day plus they work at weekends sometimes even sunday. That is beyond productivity. The Japanese used the Modern Engineering Standards and the metric system whereas, the Americans are still using the less accurate and complicated old measurement standard which is the English system. Another thing, the Japanese are working with very high ethical standards or very high Work Ethics. They work on time, never late, less absent, they work clean, neat, order and with high quality. In comparison, when i was in the USA to work in a collaborated project with american engineers, they used the old english units which is very complex to use. Some Engineers come to work late (tardy), some are often absent and some are involved on extra curricular activities even during working hours. Its the working culture and work ethics that differs the most. In conclusion of the comparison, the Japanese working culture is way better than the American working culture. Again, Asians win ! Let's discuss about China. I have obvserved that the trend of Research and development, Manufacturing, Engineering and Construction has moved to Asia in the 2000's. China has risen quickly in its economy because of multi billions worth of projects in Engineering and Construction. One big factor is the manpower. Millions of Chinese workers are so easily available for employment. These workers can be easily trained because of the adequate and modern education system of China. Another big factor is modern Design and Engineering. China was able to surpass Japan, South Korea and USA on many Engineering and Construction projects because China has better Universities and best education system. This has been proven since current top engineering schools are now in China. One big thing that made China also powerful is their culture. Their Philosophy and Faith helped them rise up into a powerful nation. That is Confucianism and Buddhism that taught the Chinese People Morals and Discipline. And the biggest influence that made China the most powerful country is the Communist Party of China. Its strict Laws and strict implementation of laws of the Communist Party of China molded the culture of the Chinese People to be Hardworking, United, Honest, High Integrity, and last but Not the least, top in Patriotism and Nationalism. If you see the American culture, many Americans became complacent, lax, lazy and they keep on whining (complaining). In layman's term, the American workers are like spoiled brats. Whereas, the Asians, the Chinese workers in particular are Hardworking, High Integrity, Patriotic and Nationalistic. Culture and Philosophy is a big factor. The system of government is also a big factor. I will give praise, honor and respect to the Communist Party of China for their excellent job of molding China into a very efficient and powerful nation and we hope China can continually help the entire world to be a better place to live.

当我们有100艘055的时候，我们做的所有事情都是正确的

Just like making dumplings 🥟

China and Russia world's greatest superpowers 🇨🇳🇷🇺

Mighty ships,

Most military equipment made in China is modular. For example, shipbuilding, there are 200 shipyards doing different division of labor. Then these modules are shipped to the headquarters for assembly.

I had naming suggestion for the biggest naval carrier in the future: Zheng He.

Lets see, the manufacturing capital of the world, the most complete production lines, the most robust infrastructure, etc...

They hired a lot of foreign consultants as well as foreign vendors for the know how and technique transfer. They are very well paid.

India is very very jealous and angry now.🤐🤐

Viva China Free Julian Assange

這是我們中國人的智慧

Man you just gave away so many state secrets without knowing😎🤐👍

China chose to invest in its shipbuilding industry whereas America decided to divest in its shipbuilding industry. The ultimate I word. Invest.

Having an effective military is more than just ship spamming

As soon as the type 004 is built China will truly be a naval superpower!

Never under estimate the capabilities of China. As I write, new and advance techniques, beyond the wildest imagination of the west, are incooperated in building the most lethal and state-of-art vessels for commerce and military. ❤❤❤

为啥不介绍利敖宁州的达利安造船厂？😅

Interesting. At one time, the US had the only navy capable of 24/7 carrier operations in all weather, is that still true?

Thanks for compiling this short history of naval yards. Since Chinese shipbuilding and 'modern' naval operations goes back into the Qing dynasty, the picture is incomplete - e.g. considering the tradition of deploying several fleets, instead of one as in the West (Mahan). But collecting *structural* evidence that offers *systemic* context to current diplomatic events is more useful for political and military analysis than just a comparison of equipment stats - as it is _a fetish_ in the West.

your title is a bit silly.. China ship building capacity is 250 time that of the US.. the US is in the bottom league of building anything very soon.. by saying China outbuild the US is like saying an African cheetah outrun a snail.. why bother comparing the obvious..

Because it's easier to build with tofu than steel.

They have 3-4 shifts per day until it’s done. I’ve witnessed that personally in China(road construction).

这游戏我1年前玩过了，后来没玩了，我电脑配置不行，他有不同的图，等级不同，可以换图的，进度太快

拭目以待 the phrase my pops told me. And to think US will ever catch up in any industries. Thank you for the video.

Mega cruise, LNG carrier, aircraft carrier.

"They start with substandard materials, and then save budget by not maintaining their machines"

And in the U.K. 🇬🇧 we’ve gone from being one of the largest shipbuilding nation in the 1950’s to virtually nothing today because of British government incompetence and lack of foresight! 😡

This is one of the better videos about China's shipbuilding capacity and you are correct. Western shipyards are far too dependent on government contracts and is one of the reasons our warships cost double or even triple that of China's. At this rate, we simply can't keep up.

The other reason is the total incompetence in the US Navy Bureau of ships-examples: the USS Zumwalt: supposed to be the new standard destroyer-techically advanced, stealthy, exotic weaponry-cancelled because it was too expensive; (2) the Littoral Combat Ship: 3 built, all decommissioned..hulls failed, propulsion system failed, softwar control system failed; $4.5 billion thrown away. If the navy doesn't know what they want, how can the shipyards?

Yes, they actually have naval shipyards. The US used to have over a dozen. Now 2

most of Chinese people knows the Lee'Aorning and the Dallean Shipyards are base in United States

I couldn't help but laugh for a while. The restroom is there, and I need it. I laughed so happily that tears welled up. I need to repair my makeup.🤣

PLAN emphasizes quantity over quality. Just like the old Soviet Navy.

UKRAINE HELPED CHINA FOR 10 MILLION LEARN TO MAKE RUSSIAN CARRIERS. TODAY THEY HAVE MADE A 85 000TON.

So many bots and fake accounts in the comments. 😂

America once upon a time used to be...😢

When china start to make ships on assembly lines.

Building quickly isn't always best. Besides China has no regulations to hamper them.

Us needs to build some nuclear powered battleships that can launch giant shells at the land instead of rockets that are too expensive.

amazing coparative, China is the leader in the industry of every kind in the world

United States barely has any commercial ship building orders is why they are falling behind…..their shipyard live on congress’s budget means shipyards don’t make any profit……while Chinese shipyards can create profit by making commercial ships. My parents’ company used to work with Jiangnan shipyard, tbh the current ship building speed is far from reaching the limit, the shipyard’s major focus is still on building commercial ships…..since building warships doesn’t make a lot of money.

I agree with U.

This is basically what the US looked like in the 1930s

ВМС НОАК 🇨🇳💪🇨🇳💪🇨🇳💪🇨🇳💪🇨🇳💪

It's always frustrating to talk with Americans on the issue of ship building. When told about the volume of China ship building they say "hurr durr government subsidies, cheap labour and material, its not sustainable !!" . But the fact remains that China is able to get the ships that it want, when it want and at the price that it wants. Whereas US shipyards struggle to put out 2 Aleigh Burkes and 2 Virginia subs per year. In contrast, China is putting out the entire tonnage of the French Navy annually since the 2000s and this is not likely to stop soon. It's almost like they are making an excuse for their own inabilities and incompetency, well excuses and whining isn't going to win fights when the shooting starts. Just saying. They keep saying that the US navy must have more ships like that gonna somehow fall outta the sky for them.

Kudos to US dollar rate hike...

Knowing China if they decide to retire the Liao Ning and Shandong, they will probably turn them over to the China Cost Guards 🤣🤣🤣。 Imagine Chinese coast guards with Aircraft carriers? Japanese will 💩their pants….

I don't know about that. china is grade 1 in making an aircraft carrier.

King off Asia 🫶🇮🇩🇨🇳

Precision outweighs numbers its a modern warfare.

Main weakness is military personnel.

Eating the third slice of pizza makes you full. Is it still worth it to eat the first two slices?

No, it is not what’s going with US ship building. US shipyards have no issue keeping busy. The jones act ensures that (though it’s far from perfect). The US is not well suited to compete in an industry as labor cost heavy as commercial shipbuilding. It’s an issue that is already beginning to affect China, as demonstrated by the strong correlation between education levels & youth unemployment.

American comments are questioning quality china ship but they totally forgor about their both LCS class are the most dogshit class of ships that can't operates after 5 years 😂.

Quality vs. Quantity. just like buying 100 shoes that last only for day's than buying a shoes that last for 2 to 3 years.. experience experience

Quality

Out build? Maybe. Out class? Never. Tofu dreg construction is tofu dreg construction.

it's said that china has 200 times the ship manufacturing capacity compared to America... which is insane and my country America as a gen z socialist is slowly losing and is getting more dan'gero'us and desperate to still be the top world power.

Lmao out building doesn’t mean shit when the ships are completely trash and run by corrupt captains

Why not introduce robotic workers and other forms of AI controlled automations into this ship building industry?

这个世界上有几个国家可以保护自己不被别人欺负？我感觉很幸运因为我的国家正成为一个确保自己不被欺负的国家！

United States, Navy warship tonnage is 4,000,000 tons. About double that lof he Chinese Navy .Despite having the second largest navy in the world by tonnage, China is also the least experienced, their most recent activity being harassing Filipino fishing boats. A good place to gain experience would be the Red Sea just south of the Suez Canal, where are the Hootie rebels and Somali pirates are harassing trade between China and Europe. The Chinese navy would gain valuable experience, escorting ships in that vulnerable region. They could also make use of their put in Djibouti for support and refueling. It would also gave them prestige and respect from potential rivals. Unfortunately, the PLA, Navy is risk-averse, And probably doesn’t want to risk losing face.Yet another opportunity wasted.

It’s Chinese they all break lol . Their ship s sexiness is just for loook .

Setup❤❤

How much Aussie iron-ore goes into each one of these ships…?

Yes but doesn’t outbuilds the US plus Allies. 🎉

Not a fan of the machine generated cartoons. Let's keep it real.

This video is a made-in-USA propaganda narrated by an imposter recruited for his special ability to fake a Chinese voice. Its specious message is commercial ship building is necessary to sustain military ship building. Its logic: skill, technology, manpower, and experience can be transferred from commercial ship building to military ship building. Truth be told, this is a two way sea lane. The narrator’s propaganda is China’s huge commercial ship building industry has enable China to build military ships. Why not the reverse is true as well? His argument is bogus. USA has next to zero commercial ship building industry- only a military ship building after 1950 if merchant marine ships are classified as military ships. Nevertheless, there’s no reason US military ship building capability cannot be switched to building commercial ships. Well before China received contracts to build supersized commercial ships,the Chinese shipyards built modest military ships, not because lack of capability but limited military budget.

China outbuild the US, but at what cost?

national ship yards alone with vate ship buildings actually make it 60 million tons at 2014, now its 20 million tons thanks to the bad global economy China actually build more than half of new civilian ships over past ten years and the Korean build the other half, the rest of the world build less than 10%, and japan build 7% out of them well let me say, if eastern asia decide to join together and start global coquest, the rest of the world will actually lose global marine time profit eastern asia actually build 93% of new ships now, including military and civilian ships, if we want, maybe we can actually build hundreds of aircraft carrier per year, and thousands of destroyers alone with every service ship imagine a fleet of Asia, made up of one thousand carriers, ten thousand of ddg and 100 thousand of fighters
