Just noticed the six weapons elevators, I did not know that the Fujisan had that many?

It would not surprise me that the Fujisan's weapons elevators would be electromagnetically driven that would mean faster times up to the flight deck than using the old system.
From the official promotional video, it must be DJICannot wait to see the first trials with actual aircraft landing on the Fujian. It will be interesting to see what aircraft get the honours to land first?
Ducking AutocorruptDon't know how they managed to get the name of the the Type 003 Fujian wrong, it got me confused too helmutkhol.
Kinda surprised that they're working so fast on these...
Don't know about that NMaude, that deadline does not leave room to develop a nuclear carrier.
You know, I don't get their fascination with Taiwan, the section of Manchuria Russia stole from them is 30x the size and has vastly more natural resources.True, however 2027 is the 100th anniversary of the CCP's founding and Xi is communicated that he really, REALLY wants Taiwan to be forced into the CCP at all costs.
You know, I don't get their fascination with Taiwan
The "obsession" is greatly about not allowing an independent Chinese nation to continue to exist... especially one that has, in its founding documents, the declaration that it is the only legitimate government of ALL China and that the Communist government of mainland China is an illegitimate usurper body, and that the Republic of China (Taiwan) intends to one day reclaim control of all China.The obsession dates back to Mao back in the 50s, that being said the CCP Hasn't forgot about Outer Manchuria.
It's the last holdouts of the losers of the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang/Republic of China/Nationalist China.You know, I don't get their fascination with Taiwan,
Oh, believe me, that's on the list to be dealt with.the section of Manchuria Russia stole from them is 30x the size and has vastly more natural resources.
When I see how the Communists conveniently spread down from the Manchuria territory that Russia stole a century earlier, I found myself asking whether it was really a civil war at all?It's the last holdouts of the losers of the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang/Republic of China/Nationalist China.
The history of the Chinese Communists and the Chinese Civil War starts long before that... in 1921 to be specific.When I see how the Communists conveniently spread down from the Manchuria territory that Russia stole a century earlier, I found myself asking whether it was really a civil war at all?

Thanks for the detailed insight, but that last statement contradicts itself somewhat. It was also not just aid, but orders and land too.In June 1946 the Communists moved into and conquered the formerly Japanese-held parts of Manchuria (with the aid of the USSR), then turned south to take the rest of the mainland.
So while there WAS aid from the USSR, it was truly a native Chinese Civil War.
In the last month of World War II in East Asia, Soviet forces launched the huge Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation against the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria and along the Chinese-Mongolian border.[48] This operation destroyed the Kwantung Army in just three weeks and left the USSR occupying all of Manchuria by the end of the war in a total power vacuum of local Chinese forces. Consequently, the 700,000 Japanese troops stationed in the region surrendered. Later in the year Chiang Kai-shek realized that he lacked the resources to prevent a CCP takeover of Manchuria following the scheduled Soviet departure.[49] He therefore made a deal with the Soviets to delay their withdrawal until he had moved enough of his best-trained men and modern materiel into the region. However, the Soviets refused permission for the Nationalist troops to traverse its territory and spent the extra time systematically dismantling the extensive Manchurian industrial base (worth up to $2 billion) and shipping it back to their war-ravaged country.
In the winter of 1945–46, Joseph Stalin commanded Marshal Rodion Malinovsky to give Mao Zedong most Imperial Japanese Army weapons that were captured.[52]
Moreover, the Soviet Union turned over all of its captured Japanese weapons and a substantial amount of their own supplies to the Communists, who received Northeastern China from the Soviets as well.[54]
In 1923, Sun sent Chiang Kai-shek, one of his lieutenants, for several months of military and political study in Moscow.[18] Chiang then became the head of the Whampoa Military Academy that trained the next generation of military leaders. The Soviets provided the academy with teaching material, organization, and equipment, including munitions.[18] They also provided education in many of the techniques for mass mobilization. With this aid, Sun raised a dedicated "army of the party", with which he hoped to defeat the warlords militarily. CCP members were also present in the academy, and many of them became instructors, including Zhou Enlai, who was made a political instructor.
Close enough to get underhull pictures.I wonder how close US subs will be able to get to her.
YouTube clickbait rubbish? I’m sure there are development issues with China’s EMALS but there again, none of their carriers have been deployed beyond the South China Sea anyway. In other words, I don’t see any real urgency behind China’s carrier aviation capabilities.Any truth?
