Unbelievable. This is the kind of ridiculously ignorant reporting (as well as that of the main Telegraph article which so casually claimed China was building an "aircraft carrier") that has people buying into literally any China-hype you can think of.
The title of the article was invented by the threadmeister.
No kidding. We're building stealth destroyers.
With rail guns and lasers.
Someone needs to call China and let them know that the 20th century wants its technology back.
Ummm.. You jest, right?
Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy
In June 2005, it was reported by boxun.com that the People's Republic of China would build a US$362 million aircraft carrier with a displacement of 78,000 tonnes, to be built by the enclosed Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai. The ship is suppose to carry around 70 4th generation jet aircraft (may carry 5th generation jet aircraft when available) The report was denied by Chinese defence official Zhang Guangqin.[9] Previous talks to purchase an aircraft carrier from Russia and France have not borne fruit. On March 10, 2006, People's Liberation Army Lt. Gen. Wang Zhiyuan announced that the People's Republic of China will research and build an aircraft carrier to develop a CVBG in 3 to 5 years.[10] Observers say the first carrier would be deployed to secure energy supply lines in the South China Sea. Fighters included on the carrier may include the J-10B and a modified SU-30MKK.
