Why China’s Massive Navy May Not Be As Powerful As It Looks

China is building warships at a pace the world has never seen before. Destroyers, submarines, and aircraft carriers are being launched every year, creating the perception that the People’s Liberation Army Navy is on the verge of absolute naval dominance.

But naval power is not measured by ship counts alone.

In this video, we go beyond headlines and satellite images to examine the hidden realities of naval power—lifecycle costs, crew shortages, maintenance cycles, training requirements, and the hard limits that govern every navy in the world.

Why can’t China deploy all its ships at once?
How many aircraft carriers can realistically operate at sea at any given time?
And why does availability matter more than abundance in modern naval warfare?

This is a strategic reality check on China’s naval expansion—and why hull numbers don’t always translate into real sea power.

📌 Watch till the end for the strategic bottom line that most discussions ignore.
