Looks like all the preparations have been made, and roadblocks also set. Some people are reporting that most air traffic has been diverted from Sanya as well.

The big man's plane has also just landed several minutes ago.

Seems like pennant number 17 is also confirmed.

Can't be "8" and certainly couldn't be a number less than 16.

Strange news to have, considering that the Chairman is on his way to the ceremony at this very moment.

Looks like 指挥长's account got nailed, most of his recent posts were wiped. But we know that the big man landed ~15:00 and left the airport ~15:40.

Does anyone know how far away the airport is from the naval base?

China's type 002 aircraft carrier officially named "hunan".

After many sea trials, China's type 002 aircraft carrier was officially named "hunan "! If work proceeds smoothly, the first domestically built aircraft carrier will be officially commissioned soon.

If someone had the gall to do so, a more effective entrance would've been him landing directly onto the CV-1X onboard a twin-seat J-15S or J-15D.
But again, the Chinese are not known for this kind of pomp & circumstance.
