Article: China's navy has the world's largest flee
With big hard Australia not managing to raise more than a squeak, they have to kiss American arse all day. Inconsequential little native slaughterers.
For most Western countries it is better kissing American ass than xenophobic Chinese ass. Look at the Uyghur if you need some ideas of what China is willing to do when they not like you. What if they not like any other race besides Chinese? We come in era where weapons are being developed that can target race:

And we still have the impending doom of sentient AI to cheer things up. Most likely humanity will manage to wipe out most before we reach that point.

The Fujian do have some impressive metrics, however it also has severe limitations.Rizla wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 4:35 amThe Fujian is colossal: at 316m (1,037ft) long, it will weigh around 100,000 tonnes when fully loaded. Its electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) will accelerate jets taking off at speed, assisting their take-off with such force the aircraft will be able to carry more fuel and weapons, therefore extending the reach and size of the punch the aircraft carrier packs. Early warning aircraft will be able to take off and land more easily, enhancing the carrier’s ability to spot its enemies from further away.
EMALS is also able to launch more aircraft at a greater rate, getting more jets into the air faster than its opponents using older technologies – and is vital for defending itself against incoming attacks.
This latest feature gives the Fujian a significant edge, as only the United States’ latest Ford-class of aircraft carrier is equipped with it. France is slowly developing a similar system and India is examining its feasibility, but outside the US, only China employs this system. Its navy has yet to operate a nuclear-powered carrier, as the US has done for decades. The Fujian is conventionally powered but predictions are that the next one to be built by China will be nuclear-powered.
A) Currently China has no supply vessels that can exceed, or even maintain its speed, so they either need to send supply ships in advance to tanking locations, thus telling the world where they are going, which is never ideal for a naval strike force. Or steam at a lower pace, so that the current supply ships can keep up, thus negating most of its performance gains.
B)EMALS consume much more power than steam-based catapults. Not a major issue by itself, but given the supply limitations mentioned above, this will severely limit the sustainable level of daily sorties unless they slow steam, or return to harbor every week or so. For maintained high sortie rates you burn epic amounts of fuel and are heavily dependent on regular replenishment.
These two factors in combination, will severely limit the practical range, to mostly be coastal defense until a new fleet of better-performing supply ships materializes.

K440 readers know, so I'm asking it here.
For years, a million Chinese soldiers used Pol Pot olive-green soft caps, Thai school boy sneakers/running shoes (but olive-green), and AK-47's. What do the majority of China's enlisted soldiers wear and carry now?

PLA used Norinco Type 56 assault rifles rather than AK47/ AKM. They use Type 81 now or QBZ 95. For a full list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... ound_Force

Thanks for the link. Still off-topic.
Probably it was the Type 81 I saw often in China in '84/'85. A casual observer, I thought they were regular AK's.
I saw the Khmer Rouge in the '90's had a wide range of weapons. How about in the '70's? Mostly Chinese, or...?
Start of '90's in Laos, although I was just a tourist, rural province country folk assumed I was Soviet first, and maybe an East German second. By then, I guess most newer weapons there were Soviet and East European. Ditto for Vietnam and for Cambodia at least until '89 Vietnamese 'withdrawal'. Do you think any of the more fancy Chinese arms of the '90's made it to Cambodia? I don't recall seeing any, but remember Sihanouk's N. Korean Bodyguard unit did have some snazzy looking metal. (And no sense of humour.)
Back on topic. When is China's latest aircraft carrier likely to make it's 1st Cambodia visit to the Kingdom? Too shallow?

Before March 1970 they had very few weapons. The Vietnamese weren't really interested in supplying any while Sihanouk was allowing their supplies to transit Cambodia. So they relied on captured weapons. After March 1970 the Vietnamese supplied some Soviet weapons but most were supplied by China. A lot of captured US equipment came into their hands too.

Well, there's a certain 'irony' there when Straya imports sub grade steel from China and the steel fails on bridge builds.
The good news is that China is extending an o.ive branch to Straya by suggesting it tries to understand
China more.

Are you sending the Chinese left in a mass exodus, or is it a sic, in their military have actually discovered the largest flea (which is still particularly important news considering it was fleas that caused the plague).
