I'm not familiar with Chinese cities, so I wonder if those photos were taken in Hong Kong?

How is this the first time I've seen this

Imagine casually building a carrier as a test ship

Unthinkable for any other country

Hello. And to think there are people who want to ignore advances like this. Now, there's an interesting question: Will this experimental ship have attack capability? Could it be integrated into an attack group? I sincerely believe so.

This ship is useless in a combat role, no hanger deck visible, unlikely to have the speed to keep up with the fleet and no facility for aviation crews.
