Quote:
"The Pentagon is also playing down the carrier's significance. Some US
officials privately question the quality of Chinese engineering, which came
into sharp relief last month with a deadly train crash on the country's high
-speed rail network.
"As if to exaggerate the achievement for a fiercely nationalistic audience,
China's state television featured no images of the sea trials, and instead
used footage of what appeared to be fighter jets taking off from Russian or
US carriers. 'From the Opium War in 1840 to the founding of the People's
Republic of China in 1949, China suffered more than 470 offenses and
invasions that came from the seas,' the Xinahua commentary said.

("Many experts say the carrier is unlikely to deploy a fighter force until
after 2015 because landing a jet on an aircraft carrier is a highly
dangerous maneuver that requires years of training")
My comment: VOA Chinese says J-15 is not ready. The NYT says, even if the
jet is ready, it will take years before it can take off and land in a, or
any, carrier.
