One Chinese shipbuilder produced more ships by tonnage in a single year than America did in the entire time since WWII.
Here comes the cope
>>534783233>One Chinese shipbuilder produced more ships by tonnage in a single year than America did in the entire time since WWII.Sure, but Trump is building the best Ballroom the world has ever seen. China can't match that.
Unironically do surface fleets even matter anymoreSeems everything is now remote drones or drone boats and how would any surface vessel stop submarine attacks, and haven't we still not located Iran's submarine fleet?
>>534783233So? American goods are so in demand that everyone else in the world wants to ship them, the Americans don't have to build infrastructure, the rest of the world always lays out the red carpet for America and Israel no matter where they go.
>1pbtid>twitter screencap>vague notions of "cope"
We don't need ships. We're not a factory country.
>>534783370They aren't warships dude, it's about shipping.
>>534783233who cares japan and sk are pretty much american puppets anyway
>>534783233>>534783317what cope? isnt your flag american? go live in china if you love it so much.that being said, the usa and its allies produce about as much as china so i dont see what the big deal is
>>534783233ok now do airplanes.
>>534783415No, lol lmao.Jewsa is buying everything from the entire world basically.
>>534783415This is satire, right?
>>534783415>American goodsLike what? Coca-Cola? McDonalds?
>>534783615>the usa and its alliesisraels shipyards dont build anywhere near enough to put you on par with china
>>534783233Imagine hot models covered in butter
>>534783615>He is too dumb to understand the problem with off shoring all manufacturing
>>534783233Good thing ships are useless in war now. Thank you Iran
>>534783233This doco is pretty interesting regarding the shipbuilding markethttps://youtu.be/0Gk61ginOqo?basically;>it's massively capital and labour heavy>at the total mercy of global markets>razor thin profit marginsThe US offloaded it's shipbuilding to Japan as quickly as it could, then Japan palmed it to Korea, and Korea is now developed enough they've started letting China have it.
>>534783317Cope with not understanding that warships and cargo ships are different.
>>534784424>muh profit marginshahi guess capitalism isn't suited for the task of... building ships
>>534783233Doesn't matter much, naval drones will matter, imagine a swarm of thousands of cheap drones crossing the Pacific
>>534785387is each drone carrying a single package from temu...?
>>534783615China actually has extremely strict immigration and citizenship laws. Not that you would have any fucking concept of what that's like tho
>>534783233Shipbuilding here is all 50-year-old Japanese boomers dictating to Vietnamese cheap laborers, there are few young Japanese workers remaining in this industry.
>>534783233>ships >in 2026$80 drones easiest fucking target
>>534785340More accurately, capitalism doesn't like paying a livable wage for the process of building a ship, when hundreds of thousands of man hours go into the process.
>>534784424>signal that international shipping is a scam>do it again>do it again>do it forever>never stop shipping internationallySelf harm is fucking stupid.
>>534786844>temu drone vs. 16mm steel plateNo this is about commercial shipbuilding. Obviously retooling commercial to military is leagues easier than starting from scratch with a population that's scared of welding fumes though..
>>534787244Its the real cost of globalisation. Everything is a race to the bottom, undercutting each other until there's no meat left on the bone and we're fighting for rice. When the people building $150,000,000 ships are literally packing up and going home because there's nothing left, it's a pretty clear problem.
>>534783233So where are all these ships? What do they carry?If they produced so many, you'd think the apparent trade should also have increased by as much thus increasing the GDP, but the global economy is stagnant shit and keeps getting shittier. So what gives, do they just stand in docks not being used like those empty commieblocs?
>>534786842>Shipbuilding here is all 50-year-old Japanese boomers dictating to Vietnamese cheap laborersThis make me raugh for some reason.
>>534787536no they're busily shipping pointless shit back and forth for fractional percentage profitthe only sector of shipping with decent margins are the oil tankers but they're at the mercy of what kind of mood Trump is in on a given morning
>>534787784>the only sector of shipping with decent margins are the oil tankersCome to think of it, what else really needs to be shipped? If you don't live in a continent without everything else, then it's inviable for habitation.
>>534783317how many pleasure craft are they pumping out for their slave class to enjoy
>>534788113Lots of things that shouldn't be shipped get shipped.Like vinyl chloride. Just ship the PVC pellets, retards. Holy fucking shit.
Bessent visits Japan next week. There will be an announcement about US shipbuilding, OLED display fabs, Andruil drone production, Intel memory chip, etc.
>>534788528Seems that 99% of things being shipping should not be shipped and are only shipped in order to feed or entertain subhumans. But that's probably due to 95% of the global population not being European.
>>534783233>china doesn't have a space forcedidn't sun tzu say take the high ground

>>534783233>shipsMy .22lr could sink that pig iron navy of buggmenn retards retard op.
>>534783370surface boats don't matter until chinks swarm the seas and the retarded boomers who started the war realize you can't use debt to outmatch actual industrial production, bit it's okay because only you and me will get fucked as the boomers will flee
And what are they doing with all those ships?
