MOST of China is fake, fake buildings, fake economic growth, fake military (in regards to some silos and prowess)
It's why I call them a glass cannon, all Taiwan needs is enough firepower and force to stump a first wave attack on them and there's a high chance there is nothing to follow on from that.
No, their older carriers are the ones that used the ski ramp. What they did was they tried to replicated the electromagnetic catapults the US is switching to to replace the steam based ones (the EM launchers being capable of heavier planes and/or higher payloads). BUT it still uses diesel engines instead of the nuclear reactors US carriers do, so they very quickly discovered they dont generate enough electrical power to actually run the catapults. They also apparently fucked up the build quality (like usual), and it was spotted in drydock with cracks running through the flight deck.
The Chinese military is a joke, and the only threat they pose is subversion. And even that is starting to wane as their economy sputters and dies.
Something something rocket fuel for cooking ramen.
