China Rising: The Case for Containment

Explore what action the United States and its allies can take to address the rapid militarization of the South China Sea by the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and other military services.

Extract

China Rising: The Case For Containment focuses on developing a multi-domain approach to the defense structure in the Indo-Pacific region by offering modifications to current and future weapons systems development and deployment. It also provides pragmatic counters to the PLAN’s man-made islands, hypersonic weapons, aircraft, ships, and submarine forces. China Rising, The Case For Containment is divided into three sections: History & Policy, Technology and War, and The Economics of War. Each section takes a different approach to Chinese militarism and actions the US and its Allies can utilize to create interlocking systems to present a more efficient approach to contain China’s rapid rise.

Common Sense Defense

The Common Sense Defense Podcast is where defense policy is accessible, relatable and can be understood by the common everyday person.

Our first project is helping our Navy to remain viable and increasingly lethal over the next decade as it restructures.

The issue currently before Congress is the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act which slates 24 Naval Combatants to be cut from our fleet. This reduction directly impacts our nation’s ability to carry out global responsibilities and provide ample national defense. Having already cut back over 10 ships in the 2022 NDAA and projecting to cut even more ships in FY 2024 our Navy is in an emergency situation!

By FY 2024, despite congressional efforts to save some of the FY 2023 NDAA cuts, the U.S. navy will be looking at a battle force between the high 270's and low 280's against China’s 355 and Russia’s 220 plus naval combatants. With both strategic competitors doing joint naval exercises, sharing intelligence, and forging closer militarily ties, we can only expect more strategic collaboration in the future which will present substantial challenges to our global operational footprint. It is not time deconstruct and decommission much of our navy it’s time - to Build Our Navy!
