China's People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is one of the largest in the world, demonstrating rapid modernization, with capabilities that include advanced destroyers and multiple aircraft carriers.
The PLAN's modernization over the last decade has positioned it to close the gap with the United States and Russia, with increased carrier count being a significant factor.
Despite having a larger fleet, Russia's naval strength is concentrated in its nuclear submarines, while China has rapidly expanded its aircraft carrier fleet to bolster its naval power.
The naval race in Asia is increasingly competitive, with different nations focusing on various aspects of naval power, highlighting the dynamic nature of military modernization in the region.
