Resolves yes based merely on an announcement, not necessarily on an actual purchase.
Chinese shipbuilding has about 350x as much capacity as the United States, but allied countries (SK and Japan) make up that gap. Protectionism and industrial policy force the US to forgo buying ships from their allies. Will the US fix this problem?
