Carrier's deck given coat of heat-resistant paint

CNS Fujian, China's recently unveiled aircraft carrier, represents the country's latest achievement in its naval hardware construction and incorporates a wide variety of advanced technologies.
Among those taking part in the massive engineering endeavor, researchers at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, who are renowned specialists in carrier rockets, have used their expertise and skills to help build one of the critical parts on the colossal carrier－the jet blast deflectors.
A jet blast deflector, or blast fence, is an indispensable component on a carrier's flight deck because it is used to block and deflect extremely hot exhaust from fighter jet engines to prevent damage and injury.
Engineers from the academy's Aerospace Research Institute of Materials and Processing Technology developed heat-resistant paint used on the jet blast deflectors on the CNS Liaoning and CNS Shandong, the Fujian's two predecessors.
When design work for the new carrier began at China State Shipbuilding Corp, the institute was once again invited to participate.
Ma Kangzhi, project manager for the paint coat project at the institute, said it was an honor for his team that they could use their expertise in rockets and spacecraft to serve the country's naval modernization drive.
He said the paint coat on the jet blast deflectors must be able to withstand scorching flame and long periods of time in a marine environment.
"Our product features good heat-proofing and anticorrosive performance, can be mass-produced and is easy to maintain and repair," he said, adding that engineers will continue improving the paint formula.
The Beijing-based institute specializes in advanced materials and their processing techniques. Its technologies and products are widely used on China's crewed spaceships, carrier rockets and satellites.
China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian was unveiled on June 17 in Shanghai as it was towed out of its dry dock at China State Shipbuilding Corp's Jiangnan Shipyard.
Upon its completion, the gigantic ship will displace more than 80,000 metric tons of water, making it the largest and mightiest warship any Asian nation has ever built, and also one of the world's biggest naval vessels.
In the next phase, the carrier will undergo mooring and sea trials to comprehensively test its overall capabilities and specific equipment, the Chinese military said.

Japan is feeling the heat from the launch of Fujian good for them about time they give respect to China
With the launch of its new aircraft carrier, the Fujian, the Chinese navy now has three. The vessel is the first in the fleet to be equipped with an electromagnetic catapult and can send off shipboard aircraft in rapid succession.
China continues to expand its military arsenal, and its technology is approaching that of the state-of-the-art carrier systems used by the U.S. Navy. Asian neighbors should be extremely wary of this development.
The Fujian is named for the southeastern coastal province that lies across from Taiwan. Earlier in his career, President Xi Jinping spent many years in the province, and was not shy in expressing his strong desire to reunify Taiwan with the mainland. With Russia roiling the global security environment through its invasion of Ukraine, other countries are watching China closely.
Neighboring Japan must take every opportunity to encourage Beijing to exercise restraint while developing its own defense capabilities. These endeavors are underscored by the Japan-U.S. alliance, the Quad grouping of the U.S., Japan, India and Australia, and the trilateral partnership between the U.S., Japan and South Korea. The current situation demands the creation of a multilayered security framework.

No ideal about the credibility of this twitter account:
I have nothing against quoting twitter accounts, but if something is completely unsubstantiated from a source that is not known, claiming something that significantly raises eyebrows, perhaps it is more constructive to not post it here...
This account is quoting Jin Can Rong 金灿荣，as a person of his position it is most likely true
@Loveleenkr chill bro. You don't need to laugh react to every post.

Here's the pdf source from US Naval Institute -
And yes, it's not pretty. A few issues of note -
EMALS:
181 cycles... Yikes! The Navy has somehow managed to make the EMALS even less reliable than the already-abysmal 400 cycles between failures from all the way back in 2016... What the heck?
Advanced Arresting Gear:
The arresting system is in even worse shape than the EMALS... It looks to be a similar if not the same electrical problem that's been plaguing the EMALS - that they simply couldn't isolate failed components, making ad hoc repairs all but impossible without physically cutting off those components from the rest of the system and bringing the whole thing down for days, while flight ops is still in progress... Well, not in progress anymore once that happens, once every 48 landings!
Dual-Band Radar:
Target discrimination seems problematic due to excessive clutter. I wonder what they mean by "undesired emitter tracks" that would compel over-expenditure of missiles.
I certainly hope it was dropped returns of some manner or another from the SLQ-32 vis-a-vis RF signals from oncoming targets, and not false positives due to "clutter issue" like with the DBR so they just spray missiles at the general direction and pray that one of 'em would hit... Bit of a hyperbole on the last, but you get my drift.
The ECM does seem to be the main culprit in bringing the Ford's self-defence capability down. Though the DBR isn't fairing much better either, with discriminating clutter and overall reliability being quite subpar by the Navy's standards, which serves to further justify their decision to move on from the SPY-4, I'd imagine.
Needless to say it'd be interesting to see how the SPY-6 will fair, esp. since the Navy seems so confident in it that they're putting the various variants of the SPY-6 on pretty much every new-build surface combatants across the fleets from AB IIIs to the FFGs to the Fords.
Spoke too soon. It looks like the Navy has learned nothing from their EMALS woes. Fitting untested primary sensors onto already-built/almost-constructed $13bn capital ships, what could go wrong?
To add, the Ford won't reach her required sortie generation rate either, after the Navy promising that she would. Now they're saying the requirement was unrealistic to "historical levels" to begin with. So they'll just take what they can get during IOT&E and leave it at that. They don't even try anymore...?
Then there's the weapons elevators, which I've intentionally left out, as for that alone they've got 5 pages dedicated to dealing with it. Suffice it to say, the AWE is a special child for sure. Pretty awe-inspiring indeed (pun intended).
It goes without saying the PLAN ought to pay really close attention to the USN's procurement and testing programmes, which I'm confident that they would, and hopefully with the utmost scrutiny to the finest detail, doubly and particularly so at the current and future stages of Chinese carrier development.
It's rather obvious when even the world's most powerful navy and its institutions thereof can encounter such serious and frankly baffling difficulties, with close to 70 years of building and operating supercarriers under their belt to boot, it only goes to show the monumental challenge aircraft carriers are in their own right, esp. with the insertion of new, far from mature and, in the USN's case and hopefully not the PLAN's case, untested technologies where so many unknowns and the neglect from a single or multiple faults could jeopardise the entire programme to such an extent as the Ford even to this day.
