Boy...really touchy.

Actually did you even follow the link on mine? It is a building.
It’s a building:
Namely, it is the award winning (for creative architecture) “Military Education Center” at the “Orient Green Boat After-School Camp for Youngsters.”

The second picture I added is just an "add-on/ addition" to your comment on buying a Russian carrier.

A restless unmarried male population is a recipe for revolution. So they need to do something with these people and war for them might be a good option.

Some children born on the one child policy are in their thirties and having kids of their own now (and they're allowed 2). I don't see this being a factor.

If you're going to count stuff like that as an aircraft carrier, then the US has more like 20, because its pretty similar to the various Marine landing ships.

Yipe it flew but it's using older engines and wouldn't be effective at all for a few years until the development of the new powerplants are done. The sheer size of this puppy tells me it's designed to carry a lot of internal bombs, time will tell just how invisible it is though especially if they don't fix those exhaust ports! AIM-9's and SAMS would find that thing just on a guess.

I guess they don't really care about doing testing of a new plane right next to a freeway because you can't really see the plane because of the smog. Way to go China!
