И правда, что удивительного в том, что страна, освоившая строительство АПЛ и запустившая человека в космос, последовательно и настойчиво идёт к созданию авианосного флота?
тут нужно очень чёткое представление о том КАКОЙ авианосный флот:
АВАВ Китая
"In 2005, a Chinese aviation industry source told me the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation was considering a F-35B-like program," said Richard Fisher, vice president of the Washington-based International Assessment and Strategy Center. "Given the PLA's naval power projection ambitions, it is probable there is VSTOL or STOVL [short takeoff and vertical landing] fighter program."
There have also been questionable Chinese-language military blogs providing sketchy reporting on J-17 and J-19 fighter programs. Reportedly, the J-17 is long-range fighter-bomber based on the Russian Sukhoi Su-34 and the J-19 is a heavy multirole fighter based on the J-11B.
