To be honest, i myself im surprise China still lags behind so much in power projection capabilities/weapons systems. Giving Chinas size/population/landmass and the rivals/ennemies it has i.e U.S and Japan(two formidable countries with a scary navy) you would have expect China to at least have build aircraft carriers much earlier(hmmmmm......well i know its mostly due to lack of technology/knowledge ot do so) even weaker import dependent India has built one and we are building 2 high tech ones which will soon be completed, One will also expect China to have built LHD which are also power projection systems('Pacifist' constrained Japan has a whooping 4 and building more). Giving Chinas world trade/dependence on exports/trade, i must say she is still very much under equipped to be honest. guess its also due to corruption in your army/high ranking officers which your president is trying to get rid of(though wont be easy). Anyway, the point is, unlike some of your brothers on here are trying to justify Chinas lagging behind in this fieldd by saying by kdepending onn the U.S/west from keeping sea lanes open/patrolling coast of major trade routes while China enjoys the benefits is rather naive/funny. So you mean you are depending on foreign powers for your trade/defence?lool Now thats a new one which should instead be a point of concern to your country, not otherwise. Im sure even Iran and Russia have more pride than some of you Chinese members on here, who are happy/contented with relying on U.S benevolence for your shipping lanes/world trade. At least i sympathise with the Iranians and Russians since they have a much weaker economy/industrial base and world trade to be able to prevent this. lol
lol, what projection capability does Japan really have?
Don't tell me that you count those helicopter carriers the same as those fixed-wing aircraft carriers.
