Chinese set air-craft carriers unto high seas: threat to USA power?

China's first aircraft carrier takes to the seas

"http://www.euronews.net/ Satellite images have been published appearing to give a first glimpse of China's new maritime might. The aircraft carrier, China's first, is said to have been taking part in trials in the Yellow Sea. Beijing is seeking to boost its military power amid long-standing territorial disputes in the region.




The vessel is a refitted former Soviet warship - the Varyag. It is understood to have been launched several months ago." Blanace of power is always good in world politics. Cornered animals strike out. A healthy competition between established powers prevents too much over-confidence a midst seemingly infinite power. Of course, an arms race is never good, especially when arms are used, and when charitible activities are hurt. Still. This is interesting! Refitted Soviet warship, and I believe reverse engineered, but then again the South African Rooivalk is just about the same as the USA Apache etc. MarcAupiais : http://www.youtube.com/user/MarcAupiais
