China sends about 100 navy ships daily, US planners rethink
World
China is now sending about 100 navy ships out every day through busy Asian waters, especially near places like Taiwan and the South China Sea.
This huge presence means China's navy actually has more vessels than the US which is making American military planners rethink their strategies.
China's fleet tops 400 vessels
China has built up its fleet to more than 400 ships and submarines (one of the biggest peacetime naval buildups of modern times) thanks to its powerhouse shipbuilding industry.
While Chinese officials say these are just routine training exercises, the sheer scale and frequency have Washington on alert.
With Chinese warships showing up everywhere from Japan to the Philippines, it's clear that control of these waters is becoming a major global power play.
