Yesterday, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Vanberg told the media: "China is a strong competitor. They are good at learning and imitating. Their first aircraft carrier uses a Soviet-made hull, hires American retired pilots, and is operated by Chinese local elites. The strength of the United States, China, and the Soviet Union have been perfectly integrated in an unimaginable way, enabling this aircraft carrier to quickly form combat capability from scratch....."
[Cunning] Vanberg's comments reveal the wisdom of China's aircraft carrier development! Although the Liaoning aircraft carrier was based on a Soviet hull, it has been completely renovated and renewed by China. The experience of American pilots is only a reference, and the core has always been the independent efforts of Chinese local elites. From the difficult return of the Varyag to the rapid formation of combat power of the Liaoning, to the independent research and development breakthroughs of the Shandong and Fujian carriers, China has moved from using others' ladders to building its own ladders, transforming external references into self-research nutrients. This is not a simple integration of forces, but an excellent embodiment of China's military industry's inclusive integration and independent innovation, and also proves that the core of China's development is always its own wisdom and strength!
