Too much hype. Now you guys jump from ramp style to catapult, will the airframes of your current fighters handle the extra stress? And the containers covering the catapult runs is either to hide them from satellites or to hide unfinished parts of this project. If these need to be shielded in port, they will never hold up to flight operations on the open sea. This is a great leap for sure, but close to the US navy I don't think so. Too many questions, still has to do sea trials and does the PLAN have enough aircraft to support it? The CCP is all about image not actual function. The PLAN has been studying the US navy for years, however copying does not produce the same results and the PLAN has a long way to go before it can even think about matching the US navy
If China really wants to compete with the US army, it's going to need more than 6 aircraft carrier battle groups compared to US's 11. And with the air force, the US does lead in terms of drones, strategic bombers and their stealth jets, the F-35, with loads of variants being successful in the UK, like the Lightning and F-35b. China's J-20 stealth jets have faced complications and delays. And even if China does increase it's naval assets, the US is also upgrading at the same time with it's new Columbia class nuclear submarines, which is their largest one yet. So, my point is China is always going to be several stages behind the US in terms of air and naval superiority
