"China’s rapid military innovation, economic ascent, and the declining effectiveness of US naval power may have quietly defused the Thucydides Trap and triggered a swift global realignment away from American hegemony. This take on the geopolitical reordering is worth reading."

Did fake news slip into the thread? What changed in terms of naval power and capability in the past 5-10 years.

. Did Xi send a floatilla to the Middle East last month? TThe bulk of oil/energy poor state of China was in jeoprody, and this presented Xi a chance to show real naval power in the region, forget internationally...like floating across the pacifc to the Malibu coast....

The US? We are the fence the Chinese see when the look out on the open oceans....

They have limits...

Does the US? I don't think so...but open to a change of view.

I do not find support for this claim. Open to seeing the comp analysis which shows the stats formulating this claim.
