Mike Rowe says China built far more ships, warns on Taiwan

What was said

"“We're not going to outmanufacture China. We're we're not going to do it. They made a thousand ships last year. We made three. When things get hypersonic and get squirly with Taiwan, it's going to be companies like Ethan's that are going to tip the scales.”"

Mike Rowe claims China’s manufacturing capacity far exceeds the United States, saying China built a thousand ships last year while the US made three. He predicts that if tensions around Taiwan escalate, companies such as defence start-up Mach Industries could be decisive in future military competition.
