CHINA BEGINS WORK SIMULTANEOUSLY ON CARRIERS No. 4 AND 5

 I ventured previously that China will build at least NINE aircraft carriers, to be named after their NINE coastal provinces. The first three of China's aircraft carriers the Liaoning, Shandong and the Fujian are already named after three of those coastal provinces.

 

Here is quite a surprising video (it may have links to the government) which says that China has already started "work" on aircraft carriers No. 4 and No. 5. No. 4 onwards will be nuclear powered. One to be built at Jiangnan Shipyard and the other at Dalian Shipyard - China's major aircraft carrier building ports. We may see carriers 4 and 5 being launched within three years. Or they may be launched in the next 12 months. The Chinese can surprise everyone.

And they also say that China is indeed planning a minimum of NINE aircraft carriers.  The Chinese are already training NINE aircraft carrier captains. Here is the video:

 

These are major shifts in the ocean currents. What is mindboggling for me is the technological wizardry and the unbelievable industrial capacity of China.

May they always maintain a balance between Lao Tze, Sun Tzu and Confucius.
