China launched its third and most advanced aircraft carrier on June 17, 2022, taking another step toward a goal of building a blue-water navy with at least six carriers by 2035. The Fujian, named after China’s southeastern coastal province, is different in design from its predecessors because it features a flat top flight deck as well as a faster and more energy-efficient electromagnetic catapult system to launch planes.

When it comes to reporting about China, even when it's suppose to be a positive news, there's always a "but" in their rhetoric.

My grandfather from Fujian was in the Korean war. He would be proud to see this.

Congratulations China. I know India and China has strain relationship since 1962 but I personally think people of both countries are very friendly towards each other.

Congratulations for the Chinese navy, may it never be used on an invasion of any nation, and it’s weapons be used for defence purposes only.

These 3 ships have been and will likely remain the most significant, the first carrier, the first domestically built one, and the first modern CATOBAR one

As a member of the ASEAN family of nations from Indonesia, we are so lucky to be geographically flanked by China and India on both sides. China can serve as a role model for our development while India's always there to scare the life out of us if we don't. No offence intended

Nice ship. Really looking forward to its first catapult launch.

Fujian Province = Hokkien hosted China's earliest School of Naval Administration (1866) in Qing Dynasty, even before the ROC (1911-1949) and PRC era (1949-current). Predecessors lost in the 1894 Battle of Lüshun (in Liaoning Province) and the 1895 Battle of Weihai (in Shandong Province) were also memorized.

This is really their first "proper" aircraft carrier. The two before this were more like prototyoes for the Chinese to learn how to build and operate aircraft carriers. They won't be used in any real missions, unless desperate. Especially 001, which is strictly for training purposes.

Type 004 aircraft carrier was already on construction stage. After it's completion. China will construct the type 005 aircraft carrier
