Great [cis and videos all around.

she looks good...good clean lines, and I like the newer Island and its layout, particularly the PARs..

China's second carrier now in the water...and it is THEIR build...number 3 is building!
 
So, we win the bet on China building at least two new carriers?

Not until there is clear proof that number 3 is building! Though I bet against, at this point China has pretty much proven their Varyag-mod class carrier building prowess and I think it makes sense for them to build a second 001A, or a 001B, in close succession before moving on to a completely different design.
 
Official Media:
Home-made aircraft carrier

Well it is home made/domestically produced. I don't think that's been much of a matter of dispute even among foreign media and commentators.
LOL I think those speaking, ehm, imperfect English (like me!) may assume the meaning of "home-made" which is offered on top of google search of homemade+meaning:

home-made
ˌhəʊmˈmeɪd/
adjective
adjective: homemade
  1. made at home, rather than in a shop or factory.
    "home-made bread"
despite this assumption being obviously wrong in the present context ...
