Survey finds China outpaced U.S. naval shipbuilding
By The BriefBrief
A new survey found that mainland Chinese shipyards delivered more than twice the naval tonnage of U.S. shipyards in 2024 and 2025. Analysts said the production gap could weigh heavily in a prolonged conflict over Taiwan, while specialists cautioned that tonnage alone does not measure naval power and cited U.S. strengths in submarine technology, aircraft carriers and operational experience.
