🔥Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!
In 2000, China was a footnote in the shipbuilding world.
South Korea and Japan dominated. The U.S. still carried its legacy weight.
But while headlines obsessed over Silicon Valley and supply chains,
China quietly laid steel — and strategy.
First came the yards. Then came the scale.
By 2024, China wasn’t catching up — it was leading.
53% of the world’s ship output now sails from Chinese docks.
Not by accident.
By design.
At the center is a strategy few outside the maritime world understand:
Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) — where global commerce fuels industrial strength, and every ship order becomes a building block in a national plan.
So how did this transformation happen?
How much of the world’s ships does China build today?
Who are China’s largest shipbuilders?
What is Military-Civil Fusion (MCF)?
How many Chinese shipyards follow the MCF model?
How large are these MCF-linked yards?
Who buys from these dual-use shipyards?
What kind of military ships are built there?
How much commercial output do these yards also generate?
How does foreign tech play a role?
Can the U.S. catch up?
Let’s decode it — in 10 sharp questions.
