Why does China as 3rd military power in the world just have 1 aircraft carrier?
How does China's aircraft carrier compare to the ones used by other countries?
China's only operational aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, is a refurbished Soviet-era vessel that was commissioned in 2012. It is smaller and less advanced than the carriers used by the US and some other countries, but it does provide China with a significant new capability for power projection and naval operations.
