rogerluli Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 An informative article on the recent history of interaction between the militaries of China and the US... It seems that things are definitely on the up and up as tensions across the Taiwan Strait have lessened... But positive moves have occured before only to be spoiled by "incidents"... http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/JL24Ad01.html Link to comment

Batmaniac Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Why would they build one? They already have a perfectly nice one outside of Shenzhen courtesy The Former Soviet Union. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_aircraft_carrier_Minsk Link to comment
Yuanyang Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Very expensive piece of hardware. It is estimated that one US Aircraft Carrier battle group to build cost over $20 billion dollars. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081223/ap_on_...craft_carrier_1 They should be able to put out a state of the art, 1st Class vessel. I trust the PRC with 'em more than I do the Russians. (Hell, they'll wind up making 1 or 2 for the Ruskies, simply cuz they've got better technology and quality control.) Link to comment
