While the Chinese navy is building warships like crazy, they have not neglected fleet support auxiliaries. If you postulate that their naval mission will be from the coast to the mid-Pacific, their need for unrep vessels would presumably be less than the USN's. Nevertheless, they have built nine replenishment oilers of a bit less than 24,000 tons each. They accommodate fuel oil, weapons and general stores and have but a single helicopter. Here is CNS Gaoyouhu (AOR-966) at Pearl Harbor.

PLAN is deploying Z-20J on this platform for VERTREP operations - unsurprising.

It's been a decade since this occured and these were goodwill/diplomatic/cultural in nature.

I do not think China is an enemy. IMHO, Our economies and economic prosperity are closely tied.

I think the best thing to happen for American consumers would be for relations to warm with China, and increase trade and reduce trade barriers. Granted that's opposite of current policy but hopefully the pendulum will swing back towards center.

Many have said the same about other wars.

As for the PRC and Xi, sounds like you’re looking for a piece of paper declaring peace in our time. Good luck. Also, see Putin.

I want abundance and economic prosperity for myself and my family - I think most of us want that.

Is that too much to ask of our political leaders?
