I remember PLAN's naming rule talks about "provincial level" not province. This means as far as the naming concerns, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing are "provinces".Beijing is obviously not a province. But it is capital so it could get a pass?

Shilao and gang talked about their experience watching growth of PLA since they were kids. Xi recalls asking his parents why China doesn't have a carrier and his parents told him "one day Jiangnan Shipyard will build us one". Shilao recalls when 112 Harbin (052 lead ship) was launched in the 90s he went up to someone in PLAN to ask for their thought and he answered "what is this crap?!" and complained about lack of VLS and CIWS just like military fans.
Coming around to today, they said those jokes you are seeing today: the one where someone photoshopped Fujian to have a ramp or Shandong making fun of Fujian's flat cheat, those jokes are only funny because Fujian exists. If you ask kids today who grew up in a world where J-20 is flying overhead and Liaoning and Shandong are out at sea what they think of J-35 and Fujian they would just shrug and say well, that's normal isn't it?
They finished with this poem about the rapidly escalating tastes of PLA watchers:
当初航母盼成狗,如今滑跃还嫌丑。
电磁弹射来服役,又嫌不是核动力。
航母装上反应堆,再盼聚变显神威。
聚变动力不能飞,军迷还是不敢吹。
聚变终于来碰面,张口又要歼星舰。

About the EW AESA though, is that saying the radar can double as a jammer? I
