China launched a second amphibious assault ship on Wednesday, the 40,000-ton Type 075, more than a week after fire was reported on the new vessel.
The People's Liberation's Army is launching the assault ship with plans to build a total of four assault ships by 2025, Chinese state tabloid Global Times and Hong Kong's Oriental Daily News reported Wednesday.

* The Chinese vessel is capable of sailing at 30 knots and can carry up to 1,208 crew and 28 helicopters, according to reports. *
I’d like to know more about their power plant because the 30 knot claim would imply a very powerful propulsion plant which would be pretty useless on an amphib. Our LHA/LHD’s usually claim about 20 knots.

This article is misleading because when you look at the Forbes article reporting the fire the ship is in the water. I take everything out of China with a grain of salt. Everything that comes out of there is lies and propaganda.
