On July 27, Geng Yansheng, the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense, admitted for the first time that China is currently using an old aircraft carrier platform to transform aircraft carriers, mainly for scientific research and training.
Shi Bin, an associate professor of the Institute of International Relations at Nanjing University, wrote that since 2009, the maritime rights and interests disputes between China and its neighboring countries have become increasingly prominent, and the friction and disputes between many neighboring countries and China have suddenly escalated. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and other countries have claimed territorial sovereignty over China's Nansha, creating disputes.
Many people believe that China's neighboring countries with small territorial area act recklessly in the South China Sea because China does not have a naval fleet headed by an aircraft carrier. However, since the "Varyag" was widely concerned, our government has tried to avoid stimulating neighboring countries to avoid the illusion that China will exert "maritime hegemony".
As early as July this year, the news that China's aircraft carrier will be piloted on the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China has been widely circulated.
It was a sunny day, and the sea area focused by domestic and foreign media was calm. However, the fact that China has an aircraft carrier has been widely concerned since then.
On July 27, Geng Yansheng, the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense, admitted for the first time that China is currently using an old aircraft carrier platform to transform aircraft carriers, mainly for scientific research and training.
Therefore, many people speculate that the aircraft carrier will be tested on the Army Day. On August 1, the aircraft carrier still quietly docked at Dalian Port, despite the noise of the surrounding gongs and drums.
Having an aircraft carrier is the dream of Chinese people for ten years. The day when dreams come true is finally coming.
