Communist China has built up the largest oven fleet (for trade, and the military)
of any country on earth.

Communist China, arguably, has the most powerful destroyer class.

But militaty experts disagree on whether or not this military navy could
defeat the smaller U.S. Navy, in an open warfare fight.

Military experts who doubt the overall effectiveness of the Communist
Chinese navy, point out that Xi has built the navy more to impress Chinese
citizens, than to win open naval battles.

And, there is the problem that many of Communist China's citizens are poor
farmers, and cannot be trained fast enough and far enough to staff the hightly
technical weapons systems in the navy. ( I would say the same, about most of
America's high school graduates -- they are not ready for college courses,
or for complex problem-solving jobs in highly technical economies.)

This points out the need for America to excell in technology, and have a big
enough labor pool of VERY educated and skilled workers, to staff the defense
systems.

Remember, in World War II the Germans did not have superior weapons in the
"blitzkrieg" style of warfare, that destroyed the French military. The Germans
simply had a new mindset. The apathy of Gen X toward the defense of America,
and (the apathy) for the gaining of highly technical educational degrees, speaks badly for
the future of defending America. And, a great leader who specializes in slash
and burn management, instead of a focussed increase in technological advance,
is not helping the situation.
