Isn't it a wonderful world-Russians bulding aircraft carriers for the Chinese!
The Russians AREN'T building ANY aircraft carriers for the Chinese, and there are no indications they have any intention to do so.
Of course, not like anyone actually reads articles carefully....you'll note there is absolutely NOTHING about the Russians building aircraft carriers for the Chinese in the article. Which is from DEBKA anyway.

The Chinese did get one aircraft carrier from the Russians. One that hadn't been completely finished in the Soviet day's, and a Chinese firm with heavy ties to the PLA said they would convert it into a 'floating hotel', yea right. I would imagine the Chinese will use the plans for this carrier to build their own style of carriers that suite them. Russia may have agreements with Beijing, but they will only go so far so as not to jeopardize their own future.
