In August 10th, the Chinese aircraft carrier platform was launched for sea trial. According to the test plan, the first sea trial time will not be too long. After returning, it will continue to be modified at shipyard. test Work. The picture is taken in Dalian. China aircraft carrier platform 。

The US News and world report website published an article entitled "China's new aircraft carrier enhances China's regional influence" in August 15th. The article said that the concern of the United States is not the ability of China to get through aircraft carriers, but the intention of China to make use of these capabilities. The following are the main contents:
　　

China's first but still unfinished carrier completed its first trial weekend, and was parked in the Chinese port city of Dalian on Sunday morning. The trial voyage is a truly landmark event for China. But for the United States, still the most powerful naval power in the world, it is only a reminder that the Chinese army may become larger in the future. Challenge 。

David Efinkelstein, director of the China Research Department of the US Naval Analysis and Research Center, said that China's development of the navy is not a matter of indifference to the United States, especially considering the interests of the two countries in the Asia Pacific region. He said: "the concern of the United States is not the ability China is acquiring, but the intention of China to take advantage of these capabilities. Therefore, China's ability to display is nothing. People are concerned about China's intentions. "
　　

In fact, the US State Department issued a statement last week about the lack of transparency on the trial of China's aircraft carrier. Due to the lack of transparency, spectators speculated: what does the Chinese Army really want?

In the Asia Pacific region, the United States cooperates with China's neighboring countries such as Philippines and Vietnam to promote peace with China in territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Taiwan is still one of China's important regional interests. Therefore, Bernard, Cole, a professor at the US Defense Academy, said China is probably looking for a way to bypass the United States in these conflicts. Strategic opportunity It will not compete directly with the US Navy.

Owen Kurt, deputy director of the security research project at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said that it is even difficult for China to reach a relatively limited regional goal to prevent us navy from interfering in its relations with its immediate neighbors. "Fundamentally, they want to prevent us from influencing their ability to coerce neighboring countries," he said.

Cott said there is a widespread misunderstanding that China is developing military power to compete with the United States. More likely, he said, China is concerned about its interests in the Pacific and East Africa. Therefore, even if the Chinese army is not strong enough to fight the US Navy, China will probably continue to move forward. "In our view, this is a blatant act, but in any case, they may do it because they have other interests to defend," Cott said.

Norman, a US naval consultant, said that as China joins the aircraft carrier club, the biggest impact on the United States and other major powers such as Russia, Britain and France may be the psychological impact on the neighbouring countries.
