Matthew Paxton, president of the American Shipbuilding Association, recently published an article criticizing the White House's plan to outsource shipbuilding to its allies. He said that outsourcing the US shipbuilding business is "outsourcing US sovereignty" and "this is simply digging one's own grave." In response to Paxton's anger, Labos, a senior analyst at the Congressional Budget Office, said helplessly, "I don't see any quick and easy solutions. In this area, we are already in a state of dire straits." So, what has caused the powerful United States to prepare to outsource its proud shipbuilding business to its allies?

The reason is simple, it is all "forced by China". Not long ago, the US Naval Intelligence Office stated that China's current shipbuilding capacity is equivalent to more than 200 times that of the United States, and in terms of the number of ships, the Chinese Navy is already the world's largest maritime force, with 355 ships of various types, while the US Navy has only 296 ships, and this gap "is still widening year by year". Obviously, it is precisely because of the overly strong shipbuilding capacity that the US shipbuilding department is "overwhelmed" that the White House is considering "outsourcing the US shipbuilding business" and letting allies build various warships for the United States.
