Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice: for they shall be filled. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

China's Shipbuilding Capacity is 232 Times Greater than the United States. What Happened?


Alliance for 🦅 American 🗽 Manufacturing 6.05K subscribers Mar 12, 2024

The United States once dominated global shipbuilding, but 💵🎩😈 poor 🐘 policy decisions decimated this vital industry and left us dependent on adversaries like China. Now the United Steelworkers and other trade unions have filed a petition urging President Biden to launch an investigation into China's predatory trade practices and get America's 🦅 shipbuilding industry back on 🗽 track.

@benedict6897
It's important to consider the capabilities of Chinese and American warships. The Chinese are so far behind in advanced weapon systems, but the Americans want the world to think otherwise so they can justify the insane military budget.

Agelbert > @benedict6897
Reagan's greedball Neoliberal Social Darwinist ADVERSARIAL and PREDATORY policies destroyed the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry, along with most of the middle class jobs in the USA, thereby viciously decimating the American middle class. 😠



I do not know whether the Chinese are behind in advanced weapons systems or not, but I think it is a mistake to characterize the Chinese shipbuilding efforts as "adversarial" and their trade polcies as "predatory". From Reagan through Bush, Clintion, Shrub, Obama AND Biden, we need to look in a mirror before we brand some other country as ADVERSARIAL and PREDATORY. As you said, these transparently hypocritical efforts to justify the insane war profiteer benefiting  U.S. military budget are worthy fo condemnation.
