China has a crane that lifts 20,000 tons. They are serious about building a navy. Unlike the US.

For the time being until I get the pics up, this is a good link for images of carrier progress.

Actually the lifter we’re using for the QE build has been sourced from China. Not sure what the max weight lift is, but its several thousand tons at least.

Hope we scanned the thing top to bottom before starting work to make sure nothing was lurking inside ;)
