It was very superficial and didn't address any of the key issues. China has no AEW aircraft operational, and none in the near future, it has no air-to-air refueling capability limiting both the range and payload of the F-15s (monkey copies of SU-33s) The Chinese carrier only operates fighter-bombers, no ASW aircraft or dedicated attack aircraft. Plus, the Chinese carriers only can carry about half the aircraft an American carrier can. Finally, the Chinese have not only no combat experience flying from carriers, but no combat experience since the Sino-Vietnamese war of 1974 which China lost.Actually, even though you're an asshole, that was a fascinating link, thank you.
