China's first aircraft carrier built entirely in its own shipyard left port Sunday to begin sea trials Sunday in a new show of military muscle.
Officials still have not named the 50,000-ton carrier.

Soviet style with a ramp.
I wonder if it blows a big black cloud when it’s under way like the Soviet’s.

China doesn't develop shite.
They probably bought an old Indian light carrier, reverse engineered it, and built their own from what they learned.
It is how they do everything.

Reverse engineering is exactly how they built it.
I’m not sure how much of a blue water navy you can have without the benefit of naval bases around the world.

From what I read, the Chinese built this ship out from an old Ukrainian hull they bought a few years ago.
