China will comprehensively consider the development of aircraft carriers in accordance with the needs of national defense and military building, spokesman Yang Yujun said.

Yang made the comment at a news briefing when asked to confirm media reports that China is producing its first domestically made aircraft carrier.

Currently, China operates one aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, which was refitted based on an unfinished Russian-made carrier and delivered to the Chinese Navy on Sept. 25, 2012.

The carrier's original design allows it to carry about 30 fixed-wing aircraft.

The Liaoning has conducted successful take-off and landing tests of its carrier-borne J-15 fighters, the main strike force of China's carrier group.

"main strike force" .... heißt das, es gibt künftig auch anderes fliegendes Material?

1. Chinese President Xi Jin Ping visited the Shenyang MD on the 28th, with a specific tour at the carrier-borne jets land training facility, watched the STOBAR training session at the tarmac;
2. Visited the PLAN Liaoning berthed at Dalian Shipyard;
3. Several perviously undisclosed interior scenes including a better look at the hanger;
4. The LSO station on the flight deck;
5. The PLAN indeed duplicate the entire Ouija Board system used by the USN. (shown @ 5:30 of the clip )

ab ca. 1:20 werden die Piloten vorgestellt, die bei der letzten größeren Tour der Liaoning die Carrier-Zertifizierung erhalten haben.

Das sieht nicht nur nach einem politischen Signal aus - vielleicht doch die Kiellegung eines weiteren Schiffs Typ "Liaoning" in Dalian?
(siehe das Posting oben vom 25. August)

Dann hätten wir möglicherweise zwei unterschiedliche Trägerkonzepte, vielleicht sogar im Bau:
= einen in Dalian vom Typ "Liaoning" mit Sprungschanze im Bugbereich
= einen nahe Shanghai mit der Katapult-Installationsrinne (ein kleineres Schiff ?) ....
