at the Chinese port early this year caught the world by surprise and caused huge losses to all countries. However, the big waves have seen real gold in the sand. China, which is fully prepared for the epidemic, quickly recovered from the impact and resumed development. Recently China has set another record. It has won more than half of the world’s civil shipbuilding orders, with a total value of tens of billions of dollars. The United States has also begun to be anxious. It has issued 147 billion sky-high contracts to invigorate the domestic shipbuilding industry, but there are many Experts believe that even if the United States has invested heavily, it will be difficult for the United States to surpass China again.

, although it looks infinitely beautiful on the surface, but in fact, the U.S. Navy’s own dead spot has been completely exposed to the world, that is, the decline in shipbuilding capabilities. In World War II, the domestic shipbuilding industry in the United States is well-deserved No. 1 in the world, although it was surpassed in the Cold War, it is still one of the best in the world. However, after the end of the Cold War, the United States, which suffered two historical events of losing its opponents and becoming popular in the Internet, fell into the hollowing out of its industry, including the shipbuilding industry. A large number of industries within it began to be gradually squeezed by Internet companies, which led to a significant reduction in the ability of the US Navy's shipbuilding industry.
The picture shows the data collected by the U.S. Navy’s
, which shows that there are currently only 15 shipyards in the United States that can provide services for military warships, of which only 8 can build new warships. One is capable of building nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, two can build new-type destroyers, and one is responsible for manufacturing nuclear submarines. The remaining shipyards can only provide logistical maintenance or build supply ships and transport ships and other non-combat ships. For the powerful navy of 10,000 tons of warships, it is completely insufficient.
For the U.S. military that needs to show its strength in the global waters, these shipyards can barely meet the fleet’s usual maintenance needs. Once there is an emergency situation such as war, they will be completely unable to respond. During the war that broke out in the United States, the current shipbuilding industry in the United States can only meet 30% of the fleet maintenance and supply needs. This means that the US Navy will soon collapse due to lack of supplies and maintenance after the escalation of the war, even if it has more nuclear aircraft carriers. in this way.

The U.S. Navy itself is aware of this situation, but even a powerful U.S. military is difficult to reverse this situation. The current hollow-out development of the U.S. industry is already deep, with a lot of Internet companies have squeezed the living space of the traditional manufacturing industry, and the survival of a large number of heavy manufacturing industries in the United States, including machine tool production, is even more difficult. Although Trump has proposed the 351 fleet plan since he took office, he hopes that the US military can equip hundreds A warship has also invested hundreds of billions of dollars, but the money is still a drop in the bucket for the declining manufacturing industry, and Trump's ambitions can only be frustrated in the end.
Under the background that the United States has lost the global leader in shipbuilding, the rise of China’s shipbuilding industry is a matter of course. Chinese shipyards not only have technologies that are not inferior to the United States, but also have the most stable production environment under the background of the epidemic. This year, the total global civil ship orders plummeted by 50%, but instead, the Chinese shipbuilding industry relied on these advantages to buck the trend and directly won more than half of the world's civil ship orders. These advantages may never be learned by the United States.
