One carrier, a navy does not make. They certainly are a long ways off the power projection that the US carrier fleet can muster, but they are a a potent regional threat and will have the likes of India, Taiwan and South Korea nervous for a while to come with the fleet they are building over the next few years and the carrier and the J-15 will definitely be a big part of their regional strategy. Whether the J-15 works or not as a weapons platform will be interesting to observe.

Just hope they decide to stay north of the equator and don't decide they don't want to buy our minerals and farms any more, preferring to just take them.
