Interview: Vice Adm. Tom Rowden, Commander, US Naval Forces By: Christopher P. Cavas January 8, 2017 In 2016 the Chinese Navy commissioned a 4,000-ton frigate in late February and sent it on a 7-month deployment six weeks later. It often takes a year or more for the US Navy to deploy a new destroyer. What are the Chinese doing that the US Navy does not? What does the US Navy do that the Chinese don’t? "Two gray ships riding on the sea go by. They’ve got a bunch of flags flying and a bunch of sailors up on deck. One of them couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag and the other one will rock anything that it comes up against. Could we commission a guided-missile destroyer and steam it out of the harbor and take it on a world cruise? Yeah, I could. But in that situation I would not be taking care of what I refer to as the center of the universe. I want those men and women on that ship to be 100 percent confident in the ship and confident in the execution of any mission leadership may give them. So what are the Chinese thinking? I don’t know anything about it. I would tell you that I find it kind of interesting they feel they have to do that. To what end? I don’t know." Defense News Edited by Hong Nam, Jan 13 2017, 03:15 PM.

The US was disappointingly passive when China seized Scarborough shoal and constructed artificial islands. While the Ph was being targeted by China, other "reliable" and "more strategic" US allies continued to receive billions in military aid while the Ph received a small fraction subject to conditions. No wonder during that time, some were starting to compare the Ph to abandoned Czechoslavakia just before WW 2. Hopefully the incoming Trump administration would signal a new beginning for US-Ph relations.
