What a not-even-24-hours period of time for China indeed. Posted by official Weibo account of Xinhua.

Born in Dazhou, SC, married a Chengdu woman. I just received my best ever Christmas gift, my tears are dropping just right now.
Hmm, feel like it could use some more CIWS. A few more sets of 1130s at the bow and another HQ-10 on the rear island would do nicely.
I'm curious, what is the delineation between province names used for the massive fleet carriers vs smaller carriers such as this one?
Although purely speculative right now, China may look to field 6-10 (if not more) supercarriers in the coming decades. Surely they will run out of provinces to use as supercarrier names if they are using them for LHDs as well? I would have thought the smaller ships would use township names rather than province names, given how the latter are the "highest-level" administrative division in China.
