    It’s astonishing how little you people give a damn about this. The amount of garbage China gets away with in this world is incredible

      Who is “you people”?
      And what would those people do exactly?

      China has over 1.4 Billion people. And it’s military is twice the size of the US military. Just for reference.

        • China now has the largest fleet in the world by hull count.

          They’re still in the process of building up their carrier fleet but it will be able to match the Pacific fleet within the next decade.

          I think any discussion on which fleet could destroy the other would be irrevocably tainted by jingoism and the fact that there hasn’t been a serious naval engagement in eighty years, but the main point is that this weird idea people have that the US Navy is the undisputed king of the ocean is the kind of arrogance that has been punished countless times in history.

            The Pacific fleet? The US has 12 of those.

            My guy the U.S. Army also has more ships than the USN by hull count.

            There wouldn’t even be a fight.

        Because this has been going on for years now, but it seems to not matter to most news organizations who barely give it any coverage. And we can do something about it by making people more aware of it
