Does China have an aircraft carrier?

China’s first aircraft carrier is expected to be launched in 2020.

1. China is indeed going to build an aircraft carrier.

2. Prepare to build more than 2 aircraft carriers.

(The general rule is that one cruise ship performs the mission, and one backup ship performs supply and maintenance. Cruise missions can often be carried out at the same time. If only one is built, it is afraid that when wars and disputes occur, the aircraft carrier will still be supplying at the base. As well as maintenance, it cannot play a role. When the country is invaded, it is used as a favorable opportunity for the other party to start a war.)

3. It is more controversial now. Some people are not in favor of building aircraft carriers because it costs too much. , not as cheap as submarines. Moreover, our own submarine technology is more mature and more convenient than aircraft carriers.

4. There is also an objection that the aircraft carrier is outdated. Today’s missiles are so accurate and the aircraft carrier is such a big target. It is not worth spending so much money to make an iron target. I think we should not build aircraft carriers at this stage. We can develop future weapons and other weapons and technologies. The basic argument of this view is that China does not need aircraft carriers at this stage, and aircraft carriers will inevitably Being eliminated by new weapons. Why don't we develop new weapons?

5. Another voice is to consider economic factors, political factors, and diplomatic factors. It also makes some sense. Prevent construction Aircraft carriers cause arms races and regional disputes. In addition, they will also affect the external environment of China's economic development and directly affect China's political status. It affects not only European and American countries, but also directly affects regional tensions and distrust. In terms of political interests, we will lose a lot. Many small countries that are originally friendly to China will be hostile to China.

My personal views and theories.

1. It must be created. Although aircraft carriers will definitely be eliminated by new weapons, this will not happen for at least 50 years. The birth of a new weapon is not as simple as imagined. Tanks were only developed during the World War. New weapons need to be promoted. It only takes time and technological maturity. No country can spend a large amount of military expenditures to develop an immature new weapon. This is the case for all countries in the world. And now the so-called new weapons are just experimental It will not be heavily invested in the military. Moreover, ordinary submarines (except nuclear submarines) are only dangerous to ships. The role of aircraft carriers is a strategic threat. Without the use of nuclear weapons, the role of aircraft carriers is greater than that of submarines. .And the attack range and strategic threats that can be carried out are beyond the reach of submarines.

2. Coastal defense can only defend 200 nautical miles from the coast, while aircraft carriers can reach 400-600 nautical miles. His national defense The role is not small. If we build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, we can also carry out long-distance cruises. Our economy is so fast and we are a rising country, which will inevitably cause some disputes and some political conflicts in the world. Our merchant ships are If there is a major crisis in Africa, our aircraft carriers can carry out missions. With the prosperity of international trade, China's trade exchanges with the world will increase. It is inevitable that some problems will arise. If we do not have aircraft carriers, we will not be able to gain the upper hand. It has no strength. Once the United States blocks the trade channel in Malacca, China's door to Europe will be closed. And shipping is the most efficient mode of transportation among all human transportation capabilities. Therefore, the capability of the navy directly reflects a country's Trade capabilities and strength.

In the past few years, the US military privately searched our merchant ships in the waters of Iraq in the name of prohibited chemical weapons. But our country and government were powerless. So we hope that our Chinese Aircraft carriers can also go there. Americans can search ours, and we can search America's. This is equality and the world is safe.

3. China was the first to propose multipolarity The concept of globalizing the world. Now Russia also has this political view. The Americans should not have the final say on world affairs. Just like a railway, one person can manage a section. Although there are many countries, including small countries, that oppose our China To build an aircraft carrier, we think that the aircraft carrier is an offensive weapon and is inconsistent with the peaceful country that China promotes. I just don’t think so. Isn’t the American aircraft carrier offensive? It is a symbol of peace. Our Chinese Aircraft carriers are offensive weapons, and there are multiple standards. And the countries that oppose us building aircraft carriers, the loudest ones, are the big countries. Doesn’t it mean that if China wants peace, we don’t need national defense? If we really want peace, no one should build it.

They are afraid that China's strength will threaten their interests. Only with the strength of China's military will we be most likely to balance the world structure.

My worries:

1. Aircraft carriers It is a very complex technology combination. We are not very good at radar systems and aircraft carriers. Moreover, we can only build aircraft carriers of about 55,000 level. However, the United States and France can build aircraft carriers of about 60,000 to 65,000 level. Therefore, the aircraft carriers we build are not the most cutting-edge. Among the large groups of aircraft carriers in the world, they can only be regarded as upper-middle-class at best.

And when it comes to developing nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, we are almost technically on the same page. Blank paper. Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are the most combat-effective series among modern aircraft carriers. They are the main aircraft carriers of various countries. In addition, some technical details are not very high-end.

2. Not only manufacturing aircraft carriers, we Almost everything has to be done from scratch. Pilot training (definitely not land-based, pilots who need to adapt to a series of professional knowledge such as aircraft carrier takeoff). And our defense ships need to be redesigned. They must be able to be configured as aircraft carriers. And also need to To develop a base for an aircraft carrier, it must have sufficient maintenance capabilities and weapons warehouses. It must also be able to accommodate the entire fleet. We lack technical personnel and professionals. We are starting from scratch. We must cultivate talents and equip ourselves with equipment. Oil ships (to provide long-range energy supply for frigates). We also have to develop a command system ourselves. We also need to be equipped with a land command center. We also need a professional military satellite. (Our other Chinese satellites cannot be used together)

Our refueling aircraft. We are short of these. But in a word, we are short of both technology and training. But the only thing that is sufficient is funds and our operational execution capabilities with Chinese characteristics .

3. We still need an external environment. Without a good political environment, we must solve the crisis of trust in neighboring countries so that our aircraft carriers do not affect the external environment of economic development. But we must create , with it, we will be much more advantageous in solving the Taiwan issue. The United States does not dare to help Taiwan too much. Once a war breaks out, the United States itself will be afraid that its Kitty Hawk will be sunk by a Chinese aircraft carrier, which will be a blow. The United States remains confident in maintaining Taiwan's ten thousand goals to the end.
