"Publications in China report that China is building, with the assistance of Russia, three aircraft carriers."

Maybe they'll be as good as those Russian Subs which keep sinking. I guess the Chinese need them in case Taiwan attacks.

Seriously, this is an act of extreme stupidity (or poverty) on Russia's part. They might wind up being used to take over parts of eastern Russia as well as threaten the U.S.

And everytim we visit a store and buy nearly ANYTHING, we helping to provide material of these new carriers.

With our technology, no less. We are making the same mistake that we made in the lead up to WWII with the Japanese. Back then, we sold scrap metal and steel out the wazoo to them, and they came back in the form of munitions raining down on our troops.

We, and the rest of the Western World, are funding their technological advances, and we will eventually reap what we have sown!

It's nice to know that every time you shop Walmart or outsource an American job to China you are helping buy a bullet for a Red China soldier.

Certainly the Shanghai industrial complex can build any ship that there is funding for. An increasing percentage of the worlds tonnage comes from the shipyards there. It is essentially the Old Glasgow of the 21st century. As a side note, most container cranes for superports are also made there as are the hulls to transport them around the world. If a reference design is being provided by Moscow on a license, then it would only speed things up.
