Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

I wonder why theres not a big PLAN shipyard in the south. Seems that shanghai and dailian builds all the ships.
Yangzte river region and the north is responsible for more capital expenditure heavy industries where state led initiatives are needed, industries like aerospace and shipbuilding. There are intrinsic advantages for heavy industries to be located there like proximity to the heavy industries supply chain.

Southern China is designed as China's primary access to the world market and the Pearl River region is the most affected by marketization (synergy with HK). It is mainly good at handling light industries and industries where rapid iteration/innovation is needed.

Northern China cannot be completely exposed to marketization before its heavy industries become world class or long term national security would be hurt and the region is dependent upon these industries where the south isn't. As a national policy heavy industries and capital heavy industries are concentrated there, spreading it out would hurt specialisation. Light industries and consumer products have a lower capital barrier (except for strategic components) to entry thus doesn't need the support of the state as much. Southern China is entirely capable of building large navy ships under current infrastructure if needed, current needs are not that large.

Okay, so the ships are in various stages of construction.
Of course they are in various stages of construction. It is like an assembly line. Here you can find the production rate of warships during the normal peaceful time:

For the smaller warships like type 056 (1500t class), it only takes roughly one month each:

For the 4000t class type 054A, it is also pretty fast:

The naval development is to keep the promise:

台湾渔船:呼叫广州台、呼叫广州台……
大陆:广州台听到请回答。
台湾渔船:广州台你好,我是台湾的渔船…..请问钓鱼台(台湾对钓鱼岛的称呼,下同)海域是否为大陆的管辖范围?
大陆:是的没错。
台湾渔船:台湾渔船在钓鱼台海域可否请求大陆协助支援?
大陆:请稍等一下……..台湾渔船你好。不管你在任何海域发生什事都可以呼叫广州台!

Since China is also working on hypersonic air-2-air missiles(capable of intercepting hypersonic weapons), so this is nothing. :lol::lol:
 
India said USA needs India to contain China. I think if these slumdogs saw your post, they all will be rushing outside to sh!t. 19 Warships under constructions lol, people might think we are going for war now :rofl:
Even vietnam are used to contain China, with their negligible navy...
For India, I am just wandering why it takes so long (6~8 years) for them to fitting out a ship after launching...

While in China, it takes 2 and half years...
this might due to their method of launching a warship:
