Chinese Aircraft Carriers - Liaoning, Shandong, Fujian and the future

What is the plan for the Fujian after commissioning? When will we see it with its full complement of aircraft?

Considering the keel was laid in 2015/2016, launched in 2022, and commissioned in 2025, what can we expect the time line for the Type 004 carrier to be? Similar or longer due to its nuclear propulsion?

Very interesting video and I didn't even miss not understanding the audio: The visuals were enough. Especially loved the group-clapping and the little bit of the goose-neck head moves!
China has come a long ways; I am old enough to remember scenes from the 1970s of Beijing (then Peking) where roads full of bicycles and people looking poor. Who cares if they are 'totalitarian' or 'dictatorship'?? The 'system' is delivering there and that's all that counts!
 
I am glad finally Z20F enter service. It add a potent tool in anti submarine warfare

It was quite good to be able to see inside some of the aircraft carrier and the crew areas.

Special Note:

Xinhua News Agency's official press release explicitly states that "Xi Jinping personally decided to adopt electromagnetic catapult technology for the Fujian warship."

According to related news reports, the Fujian warship was originally designed based on a steam catapult system, and construction had already begun according to this design. However, China's electromagnetic catapult technology was rapidly developed and performed well in testing. The Fujian warship faced a significant decision-making challenge regarding this change.

The official statement that "Xi Jinping personally decided to adopt electromagnetic catapult technology for the Fujian warship" likely refers to this decision being made personally by Xi Jinping.

Such a decision needs to be made by the high commander since the responsibility is the greatest.

In terms of actual deployment, these two Z-20Fs were brought here just to fill in. The specific variant of the Z-20 series designed for aircraft carriers, as well as a new anti-submarine helicopter model, are not yet ready to make an appearance. However, since all other aircraft types displayed on the ship are new models, it was only fitting to bring in a new helicopter as well.

Although the new destroyers and frigates are the true mainstage for the Z-20F, this model undoubtedly deserves such a high-profile appearance. For a long time to come, the Z-20F will remain the most valuable non-fixed-wing aircraft in the entire military. Even future, more powerful and larger helicopters may not surpass its cost.

The above is from an insider.

Qiao Jia, Director of the Interior Decoration Department at Jiangnan Shipyard under China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited:

I believe a few words can describe the future development. Firstly, larger—our platforms will be bigger. Secondly, faster—our power systems will be stronger. Thirdly, more aircraft—we will have a greater variety of carrier-based aircraft. Fourthly, smarter—whether it's the ship's own control systems, the supporting carrier-based aircraft, or our entire system combat capabilities, everything will become increasingly intelligent.
