A country which needs to be inpsired by another country will have no future, people to who go to sleep when there is no competition are hopeless people.
Same could be said about China, couldn't it?
It took you Japanese invasion to finally "wake".

Since you are so confident with everything, why is your insecurity with China everywhere?
Because Chinese are a threat.Period.
Not illogical and impulsive like Pakistanis but a threat nevertheless.

Just going by what you said about India and Indians, I can assure you that we will threaten you or dominate you militarily .
Nah, we are not 1700s India anymore and you are not Britishers.
You've got nothing on us.

When China had no AC, you were confident that China wouldn't have one soon.
When China was building an AC, you were confident China wouldn't be able to finish it.
Now China is having one, you are confident you can sink i
So what should we do?
Hand over AP just because you have started sea trials for a conventional aircraft carrier?
Of course we are gonna think about sinking it, this is not a child's Trump Cards game.

Chinese Government Comments Aircraft Carrier Seal Trials

China's first aircraft carrier set out on a low-profile sea trial Wednesday, its first journey under the Chinese flag. The vessel was swaddled in mist as it departed the port of Dalian, which had narrowly escaped tropical storm Muifa Monday.

Military sources said that the trial is in line with the carrier's refitting schedule and will not take a long time. Refitting work will continue after the vessel has returned to the port.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy behemoth is a former Soviet Navy aircraft carrier, which has been totally refitted for its new role as a platform for research and training.

"Anyhow, it's an object of pride," said a shipbuilding worker who identified his surname as Zhang, who worked on the ship's hull, stayed up all night to watch the carrier begin its first sea trial.

The carrier departed from the Dalian shipyard where workers have been refurbishing the ship. Dalian is some 80 nautical miles north of the sea battlefield where 117 years ago the first modern Chinese navy fleet was ferociously bombarded and later vanquished by the Japanese navy.

It is still unknown where or for how long the carrier's first sea trial will last.

The Liaoning Provincial Maritime Safety Administration publicized a notice restricting navigation in waters off the Dalian coast, saying that vessels are forbidden from traveling through an area of sea 13.25 nautical miles wide and 22 nautical miles long in the northern Yellow Sea and Liaodong Bay from Aug. 10 to 14.

brahmos will sink it to the bottom of the ocean if during war time its anywhere near range.
It sounds like that brahmos is so powerful that it can sink everything to the bottom of the ocean.

Brahmos is an advanced missile, but please face the reality, one missile will not guarantee anything.

The time when China's home-made large transporter Y-20 makes her maiden flight is becoming closer and closer.

One can almost hear the "marching steps".

Watch this space and get ready for the excitement.

For lack of a suitable thread, I shall borrow this space and ask you guys a question:

Has anyone ever heard of DF-16、DF-25、DF-26、DF-27 in China's missile arsenal?

Patience. They are all on its way! All should be revealed/unfurled in time.

Watch out!

We have heard about DF31 and DF31A as well. What's the point?

Hello Dear Cir

Varyag went out for HARBOUR Trials and NOT SEA trials

Sea Trials GO ON FOR WEEKS and Months .Harbour trials are for a few days

Harbour trials are like the baby steps for a ship . Sea trial are meant to test a ship fully and STRETCH its legs

Thanks for the clarification.

But it is STRANGE that a so-called "habour trial" should carry out multiple testings of the carrier-borne aircrafts(some said it included the J-15, among others) and the carrier's landing systems.

Hatred, or rather day-dreaming and wet-dreaming, won't get you anywhere.

Poor soul who lives in utter fear of China.

Pitiful.
