The window of opportunity for China's naval expansion
China's People's Liberation Army Navy currently has more ships than the US Navy, and they are rapidly expanding their naval fleet. The US is facing industrial challenges in terms of shipbuilding, and the trend appears to be in China's favor for the time being. However, it is recognized that this advantage may not last indefinitely, especially considering China's impending demographic challenges due to the one child policy. China's demographic challenges will lead to an inverted social stability structure, with one child potentially supporting six aging relatives. This demographic window of opportunity for China is predicted to open around 2029 and accelerate after 2032, making immediate action imperative for China.
