China has built

It's first aircraft carrier.

Obviously, the ONLY thing the GOP will demand now is that we build 15 new ones in response.   They only cost about $6 billion a piece.   We're gonna have to cut entitlements and lower rich people's taxes.

well, they acquired and refitted a russian carrier, and reverse engineered a russian naval fighter. they have one trained deck crew and two pilots.
they still need an operational concept, a complete, trained carrier group, the other aircraft types needed to fully flesh out a carrier aviation group. plus, it takes 3 carriers to maintain one on station.
they're probably 10 years away from a real capability.

A Nimitz class carrier is 330 meters long, and the Varyag/Liaoning is only 302 meters. We win!

USA! USA! USA!
