Topic Reading-Vol.173-10/1/2012

Dear MEL School's Topic Readers,
What does China's first aircraft carrier mean?
As introduced in Vol.169 on Sep. 27, the first aircraft carrier was commissioned by People’s Liberation Army, Chinese military, when tensions on the disputed seas are at the highest after the last World War. It is then interesting to know how China thinks and talks about such a significant deployment that is going to require further investment and development for the coming decades because only having one aircraft carrier doesn’t seem to strengthen their maritime power or presence much, aside from the pride of ownership. But this article clearly shows that isn’t the case.
Enjoy reading and learning about the new superpower’s intension to expand its fleets on their national day.
