China has successfully conducted flight landing on its first aircraft carrier,... Which means China's most experienced carrier pilot has exactly one carrier landing under his belt. Awesome.

Eveyone on this thread keeps belittling China, but aren't *they* the creditor while *we* are the borrower?
I'm just not sure we have any room to be critical of them.

OK First trapped landing. But this picture from the official commissioning certemony in September shows they were doing touch and goes just ahead of #4 wire even before then.
They are serious about getting it operational.
