Compare American and Chinese ship-building capacity. Sobering. The US is being outclassed: counting al tonnage build, the factor separeating the two is a whopping 230. They also have the lead in total military ship building and submarine building.
This race gets lost the more the longer the US runs it. The UK, France do not count, sorry: way too few units in service and in the theatre anyway.

Deputy PM Oliver Dowden tells Parliament that China is responsible for “malicious cyber campaigns” targeting the Electoral Commission and MPs
He says two people and a company linked to the Chinese state have been sanctioned by the UK government and China's ambassador will be summoned. The attacks on the Electoral Commission took place in August 2021 but were only revealed last year. At the time it said the attacks had no impact on elections. China says it "strongly opposes" the accusations, calling them "completely fabricated and malicious slanders" Earlier MPs who are thought to have been targeted in cyber-attacks by Beijing called for the UK government to label China as a threat. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calls China "the greatest state-based threat to our economic security" and says "it's right we take measures to protect ourselves"

I would wish the Taiwanese would understand that new tanks they develope and new ships they commission are just targets that will be taken out by the Chinese in the early stages of the conflict.
They should imo instead focus on missiles, missiles, missiles, both long range ship-sinkers and China-hitters and the small ones called shoulderpads fired by infantrymen, and equip every household on Taiwan with stockpiles of these until the populaton is literally burried under them. Taiwan will never be able to compete on a 1:1 basis with the superior number of heavy platforms the Chinese have: ships, planes, helicopters, and so forth. The numerical superiority of the Chinese must be compensated for. Not directly rivalled with. tank for tank and ship for ship. Thats a recipe for defeat. And drones, of course, both aerial and navel and below-surface drones. And highly mobile self-propelled howitzers than can roll into firing range to the beaches, and escape again into the jungle. But ships...??? Waste of money.

^ True but what strikes me is the fact that the Taiwanese must have already weighed their options up surely?

In other words, their military thinking might be as petrified as that in many other national militaries as well. In fact I recall a TV documentary some years ago where they said that there are two camps in strict rivarly in their military, one that is smaller and ticks a bit like I described, and the other being the influential one that still propagates the old, traditional dogma. All in all my impression is that they are still quite ill-prepared for a Chinese attack. Especially a lack of ammo and reserves seems to be worrying. The US should use the time left to fill Taiwan up to its lower lip with stockpiles of fuel, ammo, and reserves and missiles, missiles, missles. An M1A2SEP I read costed 24 million in export 2022. A Javelin replacement missiles costs 78,000. For one tank you get almost 310 Javelin replacement missiles. I rest my case.

I'd love to have been able to listen to today's phone call between Biden and Xi Jinping.
