and its their 3rd aircraft carrier, and first designed domestically, rather than a copy of the Soviet-era Varyrag/Riga design.
the 3rd carrier the US built was the Saratoga - which had more than its share of design flaws, stemming from its hull design being originally for a battlecruiser.

Anyone who goes "hurr, Chinese bad" as a thought-terminating cliché, incapable of acknowledging the development and progress they are making, is an absolute fool.

Someday, they will produce something that is a match for the US - or worse, is it's better. Not because "China strong" or bullshit like that, but because Americans like OP are complacent. Complacency and the inability to look at the outside context questions like "What happens when they do get their shit together?" is more than capable of leading to any superpowers' decline. If it does happen to the US, it wont be the first nation, empire, or kingdom, by a long way. Wont be the last either.

Saratoga was a treaty limited battlecruiser conversion built at a time when aircraft carriers were experimental weapons in their absolute infancy. Despite this she served with distinction and survived the war, even sinking a contemporary enemy carrier. The Chinese have a century of other people’s notes to work off and haven’t yet managed to equal the half century old Nimitz design. Fujian isn’t something to be ringing alarm bells over if you’re the USN. It’s a conventionally powered design with one fewer catapult displacing significantly less than any American carrier. It’s a first step not a pacing threat, and any better follow on design won’t begin to enter service until sometime around the middle of the next decade. At that point China will be experiencing a pretty severe demographic slump and I doubt they’ll be in a very good position to try and start a world war. The one child policy put them on a very unforgiving clock and they’re about out of time to make a play for world military hegemonic power, and their current birth rates show no sign of them being able to reverse the damage.

>>64297509
I do agree, they're newer to this stuff and so there's technical hurdles to overcome, like the launcher system, power plant, aircraft handling. Its stuff that comes with a carrier that isn't an instant learn.

But there are things that should have been tested before they made it onto the ship. There are ways to see that connecting the catapult directly to the ship's power is not a good idea, having Radar and AD take a hit every time the catapult launches is not a good thing.

Like yes, there are technical issues to overcome, China and the US will have to overcome them all the same, but some of the problems listed, especially electrical and interference problems should have been caught in SOME kind of testing before they were built. You don't need a carrier to test EMALs with DC and see it can interfere with your Radar, or that it can be affected by loose metal objects that are drawn in by its magnetic field. And you DEFINITELY should be able to build into the carrier the idea that Air Defense, Radars, and Aircraft launching should all be capable of functioning at the same time.

Again I do agree, its not like they can't learn and iterate on the design, but these are flaws that the US is figuring out before they show up on the carrier. Also a google search on Saratoga showed most of its design faults were things that you did need a full ship to see.

>Saratoga was a treaty limited battlecruiser conversion built at a time when aircraft carriers were experimental weapons in their absolute infancy. Despite this she served with distinction and survived the war, even sinking a contemporary enemy carrier.

Yes, captain obvious, that was my point about the battlecruiser...

>The Chinese have a century of other people’s notes to work off and haven’t yet managed to equal the half century old Nimitz design.

Do they? How man Chinese navy officers have sailed onboard a US, British, French, Italian, Indian, or any other carrier? I wager, the answer is close to zero.

>Fujian isn’t something to be ringing alarm bells over

And that is the first step of complacency.

Look at Fujian. Compare its progress to Liaoning. Then look at what the type 004 is expected to have. Will it be a match? of course not. But ask yourself where they'll be with a type 005 or 006, with actual experience, in a decade, or 20 years.

they dont need a world war. what happens when they can have the same number of carriers, and are using them for disaster relief support in tsunami-hit areas. or to enforce the belt and road treaties, or to be around the spratleys, and doing soft power diplomacy because the US has shit the bed in that area?

being complacent is to claim their time is over, that they cant possibly learn, that they're incapable of innovation etc. Gleefully predicting their doom, instead of preparing for a worst-case outcome is what will be the US' undoing.

Jingoism, ego, and arrogance do not help any nation remain on top.

I absolutely agree.
and that will be an expensive mistake. But I will wager, its one they will learn from, and they wont repeat - on a carrier or any other vessel.

Question is, how rapidly are they advancing towards having parity or near parity, and how rapidly is the West (because its not just the US, its the cultural influence of their mindset, vs that of the US and europe, etc.) advancing?

At what point is "good enough", good enough, that they can start using them, be it soft power, or hard power? People talking about world wars is one thing, but its entirely another for if they have a regional conflict with Indonesia, or the Philippines. And again, they will make mistakes, and learn from them. The US' military has been in a near-constant state of active use for the last quarter century. You dont get that experience any other way. The worry is, where they gain their experience, and how rapidly they can catch up.


I'm not sure I like the US' direction, and the influence it has on the world right now. but I sure as shit would pick it, for all its faults, over China's vision for its influence. And my pint was, dismissing them without a thought is playing into their hands.

In 2045 the young generation of new Chinese fighting men will be one half the size of their father’s generation and one quarter the size of their grandfathers’, assuming they maintain their current ~1 birth per woman. If their youth unemployment does not get better in a hurry these numbers will naturally get even worse. They will not have the bodies to take over the world, it will be difficult for them to maintain their current standing. This isn’t doom and gloom it’s the reality of their population pyramid. No empire has ever gone conquering with those demographics. I’m significantly more worried about the deleterious impact India and their mass emigration scheme is going to have on the world. Their birth rate is finally dropping to below replacement, but on average an Indian is a full decade younger than a Chinese. Did you know that they could export two million Indians to every recognized country on Earth and still remain comfortably the second most populous nation on Earth? Not to say that would ever happen but it illustrates the scale of the problem. I’m far more concerned about that than I am China deciding to exhaust and isolate itself trying to break through the first island chain.

I'll agree their population decline is, well, I would like to say "alarming", but part of me thinks "encouraging" is a more accurate phrase for my view on it. Doubt they'll think the same. And at the same time, their population is fucking massive, and while young manpower is definitely going to decline, in an authoritarian nation with strict structured society, I'm not sure it will be proportionate to their military. I do expect that there will be a massive decline in their non-economic areas, like their poorer regions.

Personally the one that I think is an under-observed potential power is indonesia - GDP's about 30% of that of india, but climbing rapidly.

And Indian tech development is much the same need for caution - especially with Modi's brand of authoritarianism, and alliances with Russia continue for further generations. Again, its the thought terminating cliches and jingoism, that people ignore what's going on there (hell, look at india's growing space industry for one example) and sooner or later, those people are in for a shock.

Also, I will note before I go and sleep, I am by nature a pessimist. I'd rather assume the worst, and be found wrong, than to loudly bray about how the future is going to be rosy, and discover its far worse than predicted.

and that includes the potential for china and india rising to the top, and seeing our position decline when I'm in an old folk's home, because I didnt act sufficiently now.

I could absolutely see them still forcing the Taiwan issue, especially as their older generation seems to me a good bit more invested in seeing it done, I just think that even if they win it would exhaust them enough that they can’t really capitalize on it and it really halts their momentum. That goes doubly if they lose, I think their best move was to actually do nothing like they like to pretend they do. They’d be in a much better position if they hadn’t painted themselves as an adversary and kept that late 90s-early 10s status quo.

Indonesia I agree looks to have all the makings of a strong regional power if they can get their shit together, I just don’t know enough about them to say how likely that is or isn’t.

I find Indians in India to be much less worrying than Indians abroad. Looking at what they’ve done to Canada in just a decade troubles me. Their model of soft colonizing a country through mass immigration under the guise of cheap labor is more effective than any armed invasion and occupation in the last century. Worse still it appears far more permanent.

I’d say I’m a pessimist also, I’ve just been dooming about a different bad outcome. China and India aside, I worry what the post 2050 landscape looks like if automation doesn’t completely kill mass immigration to western countries. 25 more years of Indians being exported around the world would make them internationally far more powerful than they’d ever get through conquest, but likely also leaves Africa as the last place to source bodies for cheap labor. I don’t think they’d manage to be as organized as the Indians, but their disorganization and chaos is perhaps more destructive in the long run. People in the West needed to have more kids a generation ago, but I don’t think any nation has succeeded in reducing the birth rate decline long term.

You've got to consider the time it actually takes to build the carriers and the fact that its a moving target. Assuming no major delays the US will have 3-4 Fords finished by the time the first 004 is completed. Given this is their first nuclear carrier, they are apparently going for EMALS, and the more minor things like how they are aiming for 100 aircraft (10 more than the Ford can carry) and 110k tons (10k tons more than the ford) which to my just sounds like them trying to pull a 'you but better' that will probably fail.
They are supposedly planning to make 4 Type 004s which given the time it takes means that 20 years for Type 005 is not happening (unless they scale back Type 004 and it ends up just being another iterative design before THE REAL design in the Type 005 or whatever it ends up being).

you'd have to be braindead to think that the chinese are trying to do anything other than achieving local naval security/superiority.
essentially force the us to park 5~6 carriers (maybe more) around taiwan.
also it might be presumptious to assume that they're being used to project power at all - they might be more so "mobile airfields that's slightly more survivable than fixed land airfields". It's essentially using the sea as a way to make airfields more survivable, as opposed to a way to transport an airwing anywhere they want.

The Chinese are good at copyright infringement, campaign contributions to vermin like Clinton, and mass-production of steel that can be snapped by hand. They _can_ make quality material if they really want to, though.

The thing the Chinese are really good at is cannibalism. During the Great Leap Failure - I mean Forward - tens of millions starved and in some regions survivors described swapping corpses so that families would not dishonor themselves by eating their own relatives. That's powerful stuff. They created a system of ethical cannibalism and implemented it on a scale even Africans could not match.

Chinese cannibalism tech has advanced over the decades since the Great Leap, but they are shy about it. Why do you think they do little things like ban skeletons and blood in video games? (Dead bodies lying in white puddles instead of red sends an entirely different message, but that's OK.) China wants people to forget, to become complacent. An army travels on its stomach, but the Chinese army IS its stomach. By dedicating itself to killing and eating the people of an invaded territory it greatly simplified the logistics of any operation. 'Genius.

China wants to be the big dog eventually. Global hegemony means that sooner or later they’re going to have to be able to kick around obstreperous thirdies and America has shown that the fastest and cheapest way to do that requires blue water aircraft carriers. The Chinese alternative to Pax Americana will forever be limited and hamstrung, if they can’t at least contest the seas beyond the range of their land based aircraft. And that’s it. Either get big boy carriers, or be Uncle Sam’s bitch forever (yes, I will ignore the possibility of instituting a novel approach to securing ocean trade routes because nobody’s come up with one in the time since the British Empire)

do you understand what local vs global means
the houthis are keeping one carrier (maybe 2) in the middle east at all times
one or two get moved around for emergencies like venezuela
three or four are under service at any time
this means the US has about 4~5 supercarriers (and equal number of normal carriers, maybe a couple more) to deploy to the pacific at any time
this essentially means that if they can get 2 more carriers going, they can achieve local parity without going into land based assets
realistically they'll need another 4 or 5 because they're not puccians who enjoy the prospect of having a floating kutznetov, and the fujian is likely a testbed for domestic shipbuilding more than any thing else.

>counting venezeula
we only have the iwo jima there so if you wanna count those we've got 20.

6 in service/replenishment, 6 in training and 6 on patrol, then we have another 2 after that doing whatever.
(currently this amounts to 7 Wasps, 2 America's, 1 Ford and 10 Nimitz')

As of the 22nd a Wasp is off the coast of Venezuela and the Nimitz is in the ME.
That leaves the Ford in the North Sea wishing Russia would fuck around, 1 America on the US west coast, 1 Nimitz on the east coast, and then 1 of each in Japan.
On the 15th there were 3 other Nimitz on the US west coast
as of August 18th there was another Nimitz on the east coast.
so in the last month we've seen confirmation on 6 Nimitz, 1 Ford, 2 America's and just 1 Wasp.

The chinks are not limited by the panama canal so they can sizemaxx their nuclear carrier. Carriers become more useful the larger they are in an exponential manner so this is a quite powerful passive advantage.

>In 2045 the young generation of new Chinese fighting men will be one half the size of their father’s generation and one quarter the size of their grandfathers’, assuming they maintain their current ~1 birth per woman.

By 2050 America is projected to have 500 million inhabitants (up from the current 360-380 including illegals and their offspring). By 2045 85-90% of the 30 years old cohort will be non european in ancestral origins. Most of the new americans will be sourced from India. By 2100 America is projected to have 1000 million inhabitants, while China is down to 800 million or even less. By then euroamericans will be approximatively 5% of the total population, afroamericans 30%, indian-americans 55%, asians 1%, rest mixed race. America will definitively win the demographic race with China.

Well last i heard the chinks were still struggling with the metallurgy required to produce home grown jet engines; something about growing each fan blade as a single crystalline body and milling it into shape that gives it the enormous strength and durability needed in modern fighter jet engines. All of that being something the US has mastered three decades ago and supposedly even the Russians have figured out to some extent.

Just because they pump out high volume doesnt mean they are capable of producing niche high quality materials. Getting 90% there may get you close but it doesnt get you across the finish line.

>why do americans believe in magic competence of their military/industries?

because they've been brainwashed by propaganda for decades to the point they don't even see it as propaganda any longer, all while having their education go to shit, and a binary thinking instilled into their culture.
net result is, even the tiniest negative commentary about the US' military will instantly be drowned out by thought-terminating clichés

>( R. J. Lifton's definition
>The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly reductive, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized, and easily expressed. They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.
>
>Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism, Chapter 22: "Ideological Totalism" (1961))

In here you see it with the "implessive" "ok Chang" "wumao" brigade, who are unable to comprehend the idea of someone being objective about the US, and therefore instantly leap to the terminating conclusion they _must_ be Chinese. The very idea that someone can make an analytical critique of either in any sort of unbiased fashion is literally unthinkable. Any criticism must be a Chinese agent, to satisfy their terminal thought.

their thought process (or what little there is) is that everything is 100% Good, or 100% Bad, with no in-between. Murrica Good. China Bad. The idea that something is ever anywhere between the greatest ever most powerful freedom-Merkins' wonder creations, and dogshit tofu-dreg chinesium that will fall apart if looked at is, again, unthinkable.

Its a side effect of the education system, and the decline of critical thinking.

I can recognize the mistakes/lapses in my nation's own military (and want to see them fixed), while still praising where it excels.
If there were any actual Chinese here, then they could do the same. Instead, we're all subjected to retarded spam about how some other nation is suddenly better because of a few carefully selected clips.

Lol, my favorite bit from this incident was the Chinese contractors getting caught red handed trying to destroy evidence of their corruption during the construction.

Workers and policed asked them "Wtf are you doing?!" and they were promptly arrested.

From my own perspective, you can add atop military factors an inability to politically adapt to the inexorable changes every society, and the world at large, experiences over time. The Russian Empire, for instance, failed time and time again to reform. Instead of recognizing changing tides and proactively pushing things in a more (to the status quo) benign direction, they violently repressed opposition and refused to compromise a little to save the whole. Despite uprisings and famines and moderates being alarm bells all around them, for decades, there did not exist the will and energy within the political system to bring forth sufficient change. So the ship of state inevitably crashed into and broke on the waves of history.
Much the same can be said about the situation preceding the French Revolution, and I worry I'm perceiving similar phenomena today, in places. A functioning and successful society cannot be built on a baton, but on conditions where the vast majority go to work every morning without even a silent complaint. All too often I sense so many are blind to everything but the former.
Shit sucks, man.

China's obsessed with Taiwan because they feel a bit cucked by Other China existing immediately off their coast while aspiring to be a superpower.
So we'll fight them when they invade that independent democracy, because we are unironically the good guys.
So the world is all hyped for a #1 and #2 superpower showdown in the pacific.
The home team stands are packed with American fans, and the opposing team is cheered on by everyone outside the first world, I guess lately probably just everyone outside of America.
Obviously China would be a worse hegemon but look at domestic politics, people just hate the other side and only care if their own can fuck up the opposition.

China cannot into soft power which is a fair part of that equation. Just take media for an example:
Music - bigass social media platform to algomaxx yet they cannot evolve past being a meta cycle of dance trend>remix>death within 6 months
Books - Every good one has jack shit to do with China
Movies - Every good script goes to hollywood and the rest are fed to SEAmonkeys
Games - getting there actually, monke game is the best example, gacha slop is big but borrows the anime theme from the Japs entirely.
General PR is the worst cause of their whole dumbass face culture. There is no 'Chinese pastime' that can instantly come to mind like it does with Burgers. Also who the fuck wants to learn chinese lol
