A Chinese carrier battle group led by a ‘Ukrainian-origin’ Aircraft Carrier entered Japan’s contiguous zone for the first time. This development indicates China’s growing confidence in projecting power beyond its borders to support its national interests and foreign policy.
The US Navy has the world’s largest aircraft carrier fleet, with 11 in service. China ranks second with three ships launched.
As the world is still debating whether submarines are better investments than aircraft carriers, China’s third and most advanced “super-carrier,” Fujian, has started testing its electromagnetic catapult system. This makes it the second navy besides the US Navy to have the technology. This suggests the warship remains on course for its planned deployment in 2025.
