How China Took Over the World’s Shipbuilding Industry?

What happens when one country controls most of the cargo ships that power global trade? No missiles, no aircraft carriers—just container ships, oil tankers, and bulk carriers... and China is quietly rewriting the rules of the ocean.

Welcome to Top 10 Discoveries Official, I’m James. In this video, we’ll uncover how China has risen to dominate global shipbuilding—through one of the most ambitious and powerful China's Mega Projects shaping the 21st century.

🚢 In this video, you’ll discover:
China is now responsible for over 57% of all ships currently under construction worldwide, while the U.S. contributes just 0.01%—an unimaginable gap.
For every ship the U.S. completes, China finishes over 300. This is not just growth; it’s industrial domination.
Mega shipyards in Shanghai, Dalian, and Guangzhou can launch a massive cargo vessel in just 4–6 weeks.
Beijing has pumped $132 billion in subsidies into its shipbuilding industry—turning it into a strategic weapon that is reshaping global trade dynamics.
China doesn’t just build the ships—they own the containers, ports, and now... they're defining the new maritime rulebook.

Why does this matter?
China’s dominance in shipbuilding is not just economic power—it’s a geopolitical lever. When you control the ships, you control the flow of global goods. And with every new ship launched, Beijing gains more influence on the high seas.
