Need to update that infographic with another PLAN carrier.
Wait when did the PLAN over take the USN as the biggest navy?
By number of ships a while ago. By tonnage not yet but soon. China is producing ships at a very fast rate and the US isn’t at all.
Shanghai shipbuilding CEO literally let his engineer daughter to marry Greek shipbuilding tycoon just to learn their technical skills. Not to mention a Singaporean businessman and former athlete bought the first Type 001 with his own money from Donbass and after CIA blew it apart then welded it back he still managed to drag it back to China as a gift for the PLAN, dude said he had to learn to drink with mafia despite he never drink before. China then paperclipped entire post-Soviet Ukrainian team during post collapse that built the carrier back to Shanghai and build a district for them. China somehow managed to reverse engineer that shit and build a new one out of the rust. The Americans even brag that it would be falling apart after a year in operation. That Type 001 was sent to collect the decoy warhead of the DF-31AG that flew over Guam and Hawaii.
Nobody is really building ships anymore, shipyards are rusting everywhere - except for China.
