Nice to see the latest item that the Chinese picket up at the Russian yard sale. This particular sale was nice and public because, let's face it, an aircraft carrier is pretty hard to hide. Hard to tell what else has been sold to them.
It looks like whatever the Chinese couldn't steal from us (or aquire as "gifts" from x42 and company), they can buy from what used to be the Soviet Union.
Hey don't sweat it. The Russkis know from nothing about carriers. Probably one of those ski-jump jobs, or a carrier for that funky combloc VTOL naval fighter.
I wouldn't worry about the Chicom developing catapults ... on the other hand if your local Wal-Mart runs out of bungee cord ... then, I might worry.
Can they tow it fast enough to launch planes?
I forgot to mention the two Typhoon class missile subs ... one of which is somewhere off the Pacific Coast
