Old picture with old deck-markings.
So the Liaoning has gone to Dalian not for a refit or adjustment but for a ceremony ?
Well I put on my "Swami" hat and hummed a few bars,,,,,, actually I'm a Christian, so just a joke, but the Air Force Brat is going to jump out ahead of the pack and predict the announcement of the new build indigenous carrier to be a reflection of the improvements and lessons of the Liaoning,,,,,,, that would be my read???? brat

What the newscasters said are all the usual blah-blah-blah so no need to bother to get translation.
But here's the meat:
1. Chinese President Xi Jin Ping visited the Shenyang MD on the 28th, with a specific tour at the carrier-borne jets land training facility, watched the STOBAR training session at the tarmac;
2. Visited the PLAN Liaoning berthed at Dalian Shipyard;
3. Several perviously undisclosed interior scenes including a better look at the hanger;
4. The LSO station on the flight deck;
5. The PLAN indeed duplicate the entire Ouija Board system used by the USN. (shown @ 5:30 of the clip )

I pity these firemen. Wearing those suit and stand there in attention for probably few hours waiting for the Chairman inspection.

I could identify #552, no new aircraft invited. And on the deck-model there was an airgroup of 14 aircraft, quite the same
size planned as the russian carrier-airgroup had in its best times. Nice video with nice inside views, but no news.

That makes sense! 6 pilots for 3 aircraft and 24 pilots for 12 aircraft = complement.
