WASHINGTON (AFP) — The chief of the US naval operations expressed concern Thursday about competition from China's flourishing ship building sector, while a lawmaker said it could soon be building more warships that the United States.
"The fact that our shipbuilding capacity and industry is not as competitive as other builders around the world is cause for concern," Admiral Gary Roughead told the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee.
Singling out China, he said: "They are very competitive on the world market. There is no question that their ship building capability is increasing rapidly."
