British "Jane's Defense Weekly" website reported on March 13 title: China hopes to develop the next generation of aircraft carrier

University of California researchers said at a defense industry conference, China's first aircraft carrier has just arrived in its home port in the north of the country, but China developed have the the EMALS technology of next generation aircraft carrier is already considering.

"Liaoning ship" on September 25, 2012 after an extensive renovation, formally delivered to the Chinese navy. The ship weighs 59,439 tons of aircraft carrier purchased from Ukraine, is a "Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier flight deck Ski Jump.

Pacific Operational Science and Technology Conference held in Honolulu, Hawaii, the director of the Institute for Global Conflict and Cooperation of the University of California Zhangtai Ming (sound), said: "This is a versatile training ship and R & D with the ship."

Chinese the harbor maritime power ambitions want to rely on its domestic shipyards to build a next-generation aircraft carrier from scratch. It is to invest in R & D electromagnetic catapult technology.

Zhangtai Ming said: "They do not want to slide flying leaps technology aircraft carrier, which can not be considered a world-class aircraft carrier."

, Chairman of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, in a media interview, he said that more funding is needed to accelerate the aircraft carrier research and development, to help the defense industry research and development, such as electromagnetic catapult system and other advanced technologies. Said that the Chinese government will increase the 2013 defense budget by more than 10%, however, the investment in the shipbuilding industry to increase how much is not known.

China's shipbuilding industry revenues and profits over the years has grown rapidly. University of California researchers said, which the Chinese military orders to help promote the development of the shipbuilding industry in the first decade of the this century. But the researchers said that in view of the global shipbuilding industry downturn in 2012, China's shipbuilding industry revenues and profits will decline.

Kevin Boer Peter believes that, against China, deputy director of the research project show the new carrier, and its shipbuilding industry profits in recent years is very impressive, but China's shipbuilding industry, especially in the field of national defense, not as many data suggests as strong or rapid development.

Boer Peter said: "If the level of China's shipbuilding industry has been high enough, why the Chinese military also detour to buy Russian submarines? One reason is that China is still not satisfied self submarine." He also said that there is a The reason may be that China feels its own defense industry productivity levels not high enough to provide an adequate response regional threat of underwater equipment required.

University of California researchers said, for whatever reason, you can be sure that Russian weapons exports to China will become increasingly obvious trend, which has been revealed in the current. However, from the Russian government's official export declaration, and can not see the content on submarines and Su-35 fighter jets and other large orders. Therefore, these bulk agreement may contain some parts exports, such as the electronic system. However, the Boer Peter said, China's shipbuilding industry practitioners are young people about their twenties and thirties, the relative lack of experience, but China's shipbuilding technology forward. However, in parts, China is still relatively weak.

He said, you know, advancing technology, especially in the field of aviation is a major weakness of China. Reason to believe that the the Navy Industrial same situation.

Boer Peter said: "Overall, the the hull design capacity progress soon, but specific to the hull interior like a black hole." The hull internal electronic data system is unknown. He said: "We do not know how the performance of these systems.
