China currently has approximately 350 ship with a combined weight of about 2.8 million tons while the US Navy has about 293 ships with a combined weight of 7.3 million ton. This information comes from the cite below.

2.80 million tons divided by 350 ships = 8,224 tons per average ship.

7.3 million tons divided by 293 = 25,500 tons per average ship.

First of all, let’s throw out some FACTS to “set the table”, so to speak.

• China has the largest Navy in the world.
• China’s navy is not spread out all over the place (like the USN), but are concentrated at the projected battle fields.
• China’s navy is also the oldest navy in the world. It was operating CENTURIES before the first organized navy in Europe.
• China’s navy has been restructured, and operates NEW ships with cutting-leading-edge systems and technology. Many of which are unique and unknown to the West.

Were a war to occur between the USA and China, a Naval war would be the lest of the worries of the American “leadership”. Economic, social, and financial collapse would all be in free-fall.

Can the United States Navy sink the Chinese Navy?

• Yes, the USN has the ability to destroy vessels, aircraft, bases, and people of the PLAN.
• It is highly unlikely, however, that they will be able to completely destroy the PLAN.
• It is likely that in the process of this destruction, that the USN would suffer great losses in men, material, weapons, and vessels.

Both sides will likely take great losses.

But this is 2024. China’s city-destroying munition capabilities are global. The consequence of a United States (or proxy) war against China will result in the people of the attacking nation being hurt.

Thus…

• American major cities will also become targets for destruction.

…

Remember, boys and girls, China is a peaceful nation…

…until it isn’t.

…

Never forget the great losses that the United States incurred the last time they fought the Chinese.

Look at the BIG PICTURE. Not the tactical issues, but the strategic issues. Then faced with this reality, project the highest probability outcomes.

They are not pretty.
