>China’s shipbuilding sector has undergone a striking metamorphosis. Twenty years ago, the country was a peripheral player in the global shipyard business. Today, it dominates the industry. At the heart of this transformation is the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), the world’s biggest shipbuilding group. The firm built more commercial vessels by tonnage in 2024 than the entire U.S. shipbuilding industry has built since the end of World War II.
>Since 2003, China has issued at least 25 national-level plans involving the shipbuilding sector. Each successive Five-Year Plan, widely regarded as the government’s principal economic blueprint, has included directives to bolster shipbuilding. [...] This surge in policy attention has translated into a wellspring of financial and regulatory support for China’s shipbuilders. Recent academic estimates suggest that between 2006 and 2013, government subsidies for shipbuilding totaled $91 billion, accounting for a startling 46 percent of the industry’s total revenue during that period. These measures directly increased China’s global market share by an estimated 42 percent, predominately at the expense of shipbuilders in South Korea and Japan.
Communism works
Five-year plans work
The Soviet Union only failed because world crapitalism sabotaged it. Now they're in full panic.

Built more vessels by tonnage than the US... except all these vessels were employed by the CCP. TOP FUCKING KEK.

Trump has control of the US for less than 4 years. Chairman Xi has control of his vessels for 500 years at least.

So what you're saying is there's no incentive for trump to build boats?

Drumpf can throw all the temper tantrums he wants. Shipbuilding belongs to China and it's not coming back.

I'm not pro-China but the numbers war was already lost. And he's losing allies all over the world which is definitely not a good thing.

>China’s ability to leverage its massive scale and industrial capacity to manipulate global markets fundamentally reshaped the shipbuilding industry. Having produced less than 5 percent of the world’s tonnage in 2000, Chinese shipyards today account for more than half of total commercial production.
Nooooo it's "manipulating the markets" unless we do it.

There are calculations suggesting that both the Chinese economy and even the total population are only like half as large as officially reported. That would be worth its own thread
