Gee, I wonder where they stole that technology.

The world is going to be a very interesting place in about 20 years.

Time for Japan to nuke-up.

Vessel to be on par with latest U.S. carrier, according to data

Sure it will.

.....to be completed in 2020, according to a Chinese Communist Party's dossier.

A decade and a half to build, a blink of an eye to sink. ......and they'll only have one.

20 years, you give the world twenty years? Aren't you the optimist.

Do your share, free traders! Double that FDI and technology flow.

The Red Chinese will have these carriers done just in time to be obsolete.

[oceanview]

for sure, they "stole" some of it.

but US industry has sent so much expertise, engineering, and production capacity over there - that they can easily build things like this.

"When the nuclear-powered carrier is finished, China will own an aircraft carrier which is on par with the U.S.’s newest of such vessels, the 97,000-ton atomic-powered USS Ronald Reagan ..."

I don't know much about aircraft carriers, but I doubt
that the ChiCom's carrier will match the Ronald Reagan.
But it will be threat to Taiwan, Japan and the western Pacific.

I wish I was younger, I would go into the international scrap metal business.

Nowhere has it been said it will take 15 years to build(it's not been said that construction has started).

I don't think the number would only be one.China has a huge shipbuilding capacity.They would probably overtake South Korea in a few years as the world's largest shipbuilder.

[sukhoi-30mki]

They really don't need to steal much for that.They have building reactors for a long while.For the carriers itself,they can get all they want from the Russians or Europeans.

Make a great coral reef.

I can only hope and pray we managed to slip them some bad info.

[Robe]

I 'am sure that projects "085" and "089" will be 86th in no time at all..(old computer geek humor)

[3AngelaD]

For people that don't need to steal they've been very busy stealing.

[Obie Wan]

Well,they've got plenty of US money, actually more then we've got,so I suppose they've got to spend it somewhere. Barring some kind of weird future occurance,they're going to be the worlds next super power not us !!!

indeed, the wall street journal today on the front page has an article detailing all of the high tech jobs that will migrate to china.
