China's navy is now larger than ours and can replace ships faster.

reversal comes as Justice Department reviews its initiative to counter Chinese government activities in U.S. MIT Professor Gang Chen in 2012.
WASHINGTON—Federal prosecutors have recommended that the Justice Department drop criminal charges against a Massachusetts Institute of Technology mechanical engineering professor accused of hiding his China ties, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Biden administration reviews an effort to counter Chinese influence at U.S. universities.
Gang Chen was arrested last January on charges of concealing posts he held in China in a grant application he had made to the U.S. Department of Energy in 2017. Justice Department officials have decided to drop the indictment against Mr. Chen, in part based on new information from an Energy Department official, said the people.

"A New Lines investigation reveals a network of charities funneling millions into left-wing platforms that take Beijing’s side on the genocide allegations — and they’re all connected to an American tech magnate."

Hawks beat their wings over China's growth and the threat on Taiwan urging an increase in armaments and preparedness:
" To bolster deterrence in the China context, we should address the paucity (of the weapons capacity to deter and turn back any incursion) and we should be fully modernizing and adapting U.S. nuclear deterrence — not weakening, restricting, or shrinking it."
"The goal for the United States must be to prevent a war with China and to fight for American sovereignty. The goal is to deter aggression that could lead to further escalation. If deterrence fails, we should be prepared to outmaneuver and out-muscle China to cause them to back down."
meanwhile analysts are arguing such an act is merely creating a new arms race with the CCP.
"Policy analyst Stephen Semler on Thursday argued that the current version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) marks a significant increase in spending from last year and puts the U.S. “back to starting an arms race with another major power."

"Chinese ambassador to the U.S. warned of a military conflict over Taiwan. In his first interview since assuming the post, Ambassador Qin Gang stated “If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in a military conflict.” During the interview Gang added that U.S. ideas about China becoming more democratic through economic engagement with the west “were always an illusion.”
"We were seeing a transition — in the person of Qin Gang — away from this earlier, sometimes almost amiable relationship between the foreign ministry and the foreign correspondents based in China," says Dexter Roberts... "It's just different worlds now, and I do see him as sort of a part of that transition towards a new or far less friendly, even hostile relationship."

"Chinese spying in the U.S. has become so widespread that the FBI is launching an average of two counterintelligence investigations a day to counter the onslaught, FBI Director Christopher Wray said in an interview.
Wray... said the sheer scale of Chinese efforts to steal U.S. technology shocked him when he became FBI director in 2017.
“This one blew me away. And I’m not the kind of guy that uses words like ‘blown away’ easily," he said."
“There is no country that presents a broader, more severe threat to our innovation, our ideas and our economic security than China does,” he said."
