Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro spoke at the National Press Club on Tuesday, warning attendees that China is outpacing the U.S. in warship production.
"It is no secret that the People’s Republic of China seeks to upend our dominance on the oceans across the globe," said Del Toro."The People’s Liberation Army Navy has added over 100 combatants to its fleet – a naval buildup that is a key component of its increasingly aggressive military posture globally."This possible shift in naval dominance, Del Toro warned, could begin to reshape the world order.
Warships of Chinese Navy take part in a joint naval exercise in the East China Sea. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro warned Tuesday that Chinese naval power is rapidly increasing and threatening U.S. naval supremacy. "China’s disregard for the rules-based international order is particularly troubling in the maritime domain, from the Taiwan Straits to the high seas," the Navy secretary said.
He continued,"The values espoused by the Chinese Communist Party are incompatible with individual liberty, with democracy, and with respect for human rights. This is about the future of humanity and of our planet."
