Comments by "Persona" (@ArawnOfAnnwn) on "The Rapid Rise of Korean Shipbuilding" video.

  1.  @HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle  You could easily see the answer in the video itself - he shows who dominates the ship-building industry barely 15 seconds in. China is already just behind Korea, with Japan a distant third. They'll be first in the next couple years easily.

  2.  @JohnLee-db9zt  Bruh it is literally already within spitting distance of the top spot, and still growing. While the Korean ship industry has mostly stalled. I also love how you people always make everything about the West, as if the rest of the world doesn't exist. And then turn round and complain about how 'true globalization' wouldn't be all about one country. No, there is a world out there beyond the West, as shocking as this may be to hear, and it's actually where most global growth is happening. It'd also be wise not to lump in the whole West for everything the US does. Hell it's always amusing to hear that phrase used and yet it doesn't even cover all the actual western hemisphere, since South America is never considered in it. China is their largest trade partner btw, despite the US being much closer. The video itself mentioned the Chinese challenge. They're widely expected to unseat Korea soon. And if you think Chinese ships are too poor quality, then 1) that flies in the face of the industry, which needs reliability above all else (these are not toys), and 2) patently fails to explain how they got so big to begin with, unless you seriously believe billion dollar businesses just all bought the cheapest crap they could find en masse. These things are at the heart of global trade where failures cost a fortune.

  3. American ship building exports comprises just 1.66% of the market anyway. They're at the same level as the Cayman Islands lol.
