Japan, "Asahi Shimbun," the article reported that "this newspaper was informed that the Chinese Navy in Shanghai and six other local factories, the construction of China's first domestically produced aircraft carrier fleet. It is said that the Chinese Central Military Commission, visited the various factories have led to indicate plant is responsible for people to build aircraft carriers, and to convey a summary of the plan. China's goal is to build a 2016-level 5-60000 t aircraft carrier. "

Japan, "Asahi Shimbun" message, the Chinese in Shanghai, Dalian, Wuhan and other six, the mobilization of the construction of the first aircraft carrier is scheduled to be completed by 2015. Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, the main construction area, there are eighty thousand construction workers. May also refer to U.S. military satellite photos online shows that Chinese fighter Su ─ Nianqi jump in northwest slide deck off the training, the signs are that China's preparations for the construction of aircraft carriers gradually surfaced. "Asahi Shimbun" quoted the Chinese military has claimed as saying, China's first aircraft carrier and its escort of the hull, mainly by the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, Dalian, Chengdu, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Lanzhou military factory is responsible for the development of electronic control equipment and radar components, and then pooled Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, for final assembly. Japanese media with certainty, "Renmin Ribao" of the "Global Times" also quoted its contents yesterday, said leaders had visited the Central Military Commission of the relevant plant, indicating that the factory responsible to build aircraft carriers, and communicate project summary, target in 2015 completed before a 5 to 60,000 tons class aircraft carrier. "

"Asahi Shimbun" quoted military sources as saying that the main hull of the aircraft carrier and frigate built by the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, Dalian, Chengdu, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Lanzhou military factory responsible for manufacturing electrical control equipment and radar and other components. The factory made parts and equipment to the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard will be aggregated, for final assembly.

The report also said a cost of 35 billion yuan, specifically for the construction of aircraft carriers of the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard No. 3 dock about 580 meters, 120 meters wide, is the largest level of the dock. This concentration of about 8 million workers have begun to steel treated with preservatives. To maintain secrecy, the factory is equipped with a national security staff and security guards. Jiangnan Shipyard relevant sources, all necessary equipment are in place, construction progressing smoothly, also instructed the Navy to speed up the construction. Therefore, the factory closed weekends.

The experts visited the Jiangnan Shipyard, the new site, located in Shanghai's Changxing Island shipyard dock III. Three dock length of 580 meters, 120 meters wide by at least 2.5 meter high wall completely surrounded. Dock has been built a huge gantry crane hook, with at least 600 tons of load capacity. The article, enough for the construction of the dock like a Russian "Admiral Kuznetsov" level (AdmiralKuznetsov) no-load displacement of about fifty thousand-ton medium-sized conventional aircraft carrier.

Three dock? Loading terminal has also been completed, including a large gantry crane hook. According to Eastern Europe, visited the shipyard seafarers, said the 8,000 meters long pier, was built in the autumn of 2008. Some have already arrived in large container near the dock.

Familiar with the article quoted a person familiar with the aircraft carrier project in Eastern Europe, said the facilities in China has invested 350 Changxing billion yuan (5.1 billion) for related infrastructure construction. French shipbuilding industry experts say, these facilities can be used for handling steel plates and profiles, or the decomposition of structural parts for aircraft preliminary processing or assembly. The source said all the facilities of the shipyard and its completion very fast.

Article quoted the sources said, China plans between 2010 and 2016, construction, equipment and service in the first one domestic carrier.

According to reliable sources pointed out that Communist China is studying the relevant units to build aircraft carriers, but the choice of carrier aircraft divergence, making the carrier the case so far failed to build the ultimate green light. Another source revealed that the central Once determined, the CCP's first aircraft carrier is likely to train rather than the actual combat as the main task. Last year, the Chinese military aircraft through the release of the news media, from the "serious research", "the right to build" to "China can not always be no aircraft carriers," and so on, promises, and nothing is confirmed China's decision or start building aircraft carriers. Close to the situation say, Even so, the problem on the aircraft carrier after another has made the military position, there must be consideration. The only exception was in March 2026, the PLA General Armament Department, Wang Zhiyuan, deputy director of the Technology Committee unexpectedly revealed that China will develop its own aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier-based aircraft will be modified from active duty in China. The key phrase signal quickly disappeared, no one comes from the military carrier aircraft of the problem. Contrary, the mainland's military journals made abroad was continuously J -11 J -10 or derived type (J-11BS) aircraft could be that guy, and load-made "Taihang" new turbofan engine, the engine from the aircraft to self-autonomy, in order to avoid being manipulated by others , the logic is completely convincing.

Taiwan's military intelligence, said the Beijing authorities Once determined, the PLA's first aircraft carrier built ships, only to training, and not for actual combat and construction. The People's Liberation Army of China-made F-10 or F-11BS, are possible options for carrier aircraft, both machines are made in China "Taihang" engine, the PLA made with domestically produced fighter engines and in order to avoid being manipulated by others.

The news also said the military control of Taiwan, the mainland carrier-based pilots have the PLA to the Russian military's training center, training, ski-jump take-off aircraft, while China has also introduced a carrier aircraft from Russia landed a device used to intercept, also used Russian-made Su-33 fighter, to train the PLA's future fighter aircraft division, but the final choice of what the PLA carrier-based aircraft models, there is no conclusion.

Taiwan's military community judged that the then Soviet Union on behalf of the carrier with a 3 step by step, in order to obtain the current stereotypes of heavy aircraft carrier, carrier aircraft is a strenuous test more twists and turns. Taiwan's military also believe that the carrier-based aircraft from the current state of the choice of indecisive point of view, the development of the PLA carrier uncertainty is even higher than the Soviet Union.

Aircraft carrier is a huge military engineering, the Taiwan military intelligence analysts say that the PLA is indeed a fleet of aircraft carriers to develop. But also supporting the development of protection of the aircraft carrier destroyer escort submarines, early warning detection of aircraft, etc., as well as attacks on military sea, mainland China has been implemented, including the People's Liberation Army were the three major fleet exercises and division of different project.

The military commentator in Hong Kong pointed out that there is carrier aircraft carrier independent research, the difficulty is really high. However, from the current military strength of China, enough to create a first-class aircraft carrier, helicopter carrier that is, Beijing is currently on hold, or from the strategic level to consider, not merely the cause of military technology.

Analysis of the Taiwan military sector has also said that mainland China PLA General Liu Huaqing, former Navy commander, has said that mainland China to build aircraft carriers, not to make the United States and the Russian military competition, is mainly used to solve the unification with Taiwan, including the resolution of Nansha, also to safeguard China's maritime rights and interests.

The mainland's military sector has sound projection capabilities that the PLA now, can cover the Taiwan Strait, there is no urgent need to build an aircraft carrier. However, Taiwan's military circles believe, compelled by the political sovereignty of the South China Sea, Sino-Japanese East China Sea dispute, the construction of the PLA is currently the main carrier card, has recently occupied the upper hand in China, the construction of an aircraft carrier in mainland China, but also the reality of the Taiwan Strait strategic significance.

Western built aircraft carrier for China to determine there are many, in the final analysis, it's that China is not close to actual combat, but is not progressive, nor is it what battle to fight what made aircraft carrier. In fact, it is that China wants to build aircraft carriers, do not be like the United States aircraft carrier in the ocean-style hegemony should not be doing as a regional Indian carrier, but should not be done among the European NATO anti-submarine aircraft carrier-style, of course not Thailand's aircraft carrier that had pediatric.
