As Thousand Of Cargo Ships Are Anchored Around The U.S. Lets Take A Look At China’s Latest Weapon That Turns Any Merchant Ship Into A Warship
(USASupreme.com, Oct 14, 2021)
A historic backlog of cargo ships around our country has left the supply chain and shipping industry in a crisis.
Dozens of cargo ships anchored off the coasts of Los Angeles and New York face shocking wait times of up to four weeks and railyards and trucking routes are hopelessly clogged due to the lack of manpower to unload goods – with an expert warning that the government needs to intervene or face spiraling inflation and unemployment.
The backlog of billions of dollars of toys, clothing, electronics, vehicles, and furniture comes as the demand for consumer goods hit its highest point in history as consumers stay home instead of spending money on travel and entertainment.

The situation is getting worse by the day.
But why everything above is important for our national security?
China is built a long-range cruise missile fired from a shipping container that could turn Beijing’s large fleet of freighters into potential warships and commercial ports into future missile bases.
The new missile tt is a land-attack variant of an advanced anti-ship missile called the YJ-18C, according to American defense officials.
The missile will be deployed in launchers that appear from the outside to be standard international shipping containers used throughout the world for moving millions of tons of goods, often on the deck of large freighters.
