He elaborated in his article. It is just his opinion to other Chinese. He is not saying anything to Indians.
Like Sina's claim that China can block India will a single submarine?
Carry on, keep saying and making fun of yourself in media.
Basically, he said that the Indian carrier program is poorly planned, the ships are too expensive for India's economy and
Not really but Indian Economy is yet to big enough. And it's going to be till it welcomes it's nuclear carrier.
the Indian ship-building industry is not big enough to support building carriers.
Utter stupidity, India has even entered top 10 shipbuilding nations.
If countries with smaller shipbuilding industries made carriers, why India can't?
Delays are normal in first attempt.
But India did this, launched a 40,000 tonnes carrier in first attempt, inside top 15.
So China should plan better,
Definitely, you must take it seriously instead of naming catapults as pure EMALS to take on others. PS, this isn't 90s, you won't be getting any ToT, Russia doesn't have it either.
For example, Vikramaditya was way overbudgeted for free carrier with a very limited operational design (large island that forces it to have only one lane so it cannot launch and recover at the same time, also its lift is in the middle of its runway(!)).
It wasn't intended of superb role either, India's own carrier will be.
Don't expect to be have great on imported weapon that even an older one modified.
The reason for this is India's limited shipbuilding capability that forced it into such a bad design by making it dependent on Russia.
The only reason was there India was latecomer in carrier building.
The same "poor" shipbuilding industry helped India to build up some of world's largest stealth DDGs, ballistic FFGs & many other sorts of small & big support ships which made Indian Navy 5th largest in world in terms of total displacement.
Now, India has ventured to make LPDs also after years. It's more to be a matter of priority than capability.
We have been operating carriers since 60s, may be we knowing better than you regarding this topic.
Because Expensive but safe carrier is proved to be more effective than a cheaper but unreliable carrier in wartime. Cuz once a carrier is gone, billions are sinked.
Expensiveness can't be preferred at cost of safety. Otherwise, it's proved to be more costly.
Anyways, it is his opinion. He does not expect any Indians to read it.
He said this to media, must be okay with reactions too.
I hope you yourself aren't that Liu Kiu (whatever his name) came here to defend yourself.
He is saying that China can avoid the same mistakes by looking at India.
Not doing really, after being rattled by a small packet size Indian Mars Probe Mgy-1, there was some noise & arguments there in PRC and now China is going to try to send rover in first attempt while India's even second Mars mission is a again an orbiter.
I hope China is aware that Mars landing is different from Moon landing and PRC doesn't have enough atmospheric data unlike India.
If India is founding out it's data insufficient, then, think about China!:bounce:
