China is a cheap imitation of a 1st World Country and will fall apart with the slightest push
This Virus won’t last much longer either. Nothing made in China lasts very long...
Is this some of the retribution Sec. Pompeo mentioned at the presser last week?
Disappointed...the pictures provided for the article were pathetic and only 4. I know there were more Chinese in the area taking them, they’re everywhere, so there should have been an bevy of pictures.

the cook was making some bat soup with the fire broke out in the kitchen.
No, no.
This is a copy of the second version of Russia’s Kirov-style aircraft-cruisers: Jump deck forward with smaller aft decks than US carrier, more deck armament.
The Russian carriers that China purchased/extorted/borrowed from also had several fires in their years of service. Lots of political back-and-forth/negotiations between Russia-China-Turkey-Ukraine for many years. Fires while in shipyard and re-construction are easy to start, hard to put out, very-very hard to recover from with many months of rework and replacement of cables, electronics, electrical, steel, and piping.
Taiwan can rest easier tonight.

What’s the problem? Russia’s aircraft carrier puts out smoke too.

Nothin’ beats a fire onboard a Chinese aircraft carrier—in Port, before launch...

It should as it is just soot.
