According to the news released by China’s Ministry of National Defense official account, on the afternoon of June 30, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Tan Kefei, hosted a regular press conference. Some media asked the spokesperson questions. It is widely rumored that with the launch of the Fujian ship, China has The possibility of building more large aircraft carriers in the future will mark a shift in China's defensive national defense policy. Colonel Tan Kefei responded very directly. China's national nature, strategic choices and peaceful foreign policy determine that China will unswervingly pursue a defensive national defense policy. The spokesperson emphasized that China's development and improvement of weapons and equipment are neither targeted at specific countries or targets, nor will they pose a threat to any country or region. The follow-up development plan of China's aircraft carrier will be based on China's own security needs and the development of equipment and technology. comprehensive consideration of the actual situation.
In fact, since the official debut of the Fujian ship, the Western world has a new understanding of the development speed of the Chinese navy. Whether it is the Liaoning ship or the Shandong ship, in the eyes of the West, they are just "imitations of Soviet creations", but when the Fujian After the emergence of the carrier electromagnetic ejection , it directly raised the construction and technical level of the Chinese Navy's large aircraft carriers to the first echelon in the world.
No matter how harsh the Western media is, they can only belittle it from the perspective of "China lacks sufficient experience in using aircraft carriers". At the same time, it also forces the West to rethink whether it really estimates the development limit of the Chinese military.
In fact, according to the current situation around my country, even holding three aircraft carriers is not enough to have an absolute certainty of victory in a military game with the Western world in any sea area. First of all, the existing three aircraft carriers still use conventional power, and mature and stable nuclear power is our ultimate goal. Under this premise, the Fujian ship can still be regarded as a technical verification, and the 004 aircraft carrier is even more worth looking forward to. Secondly, after having a large and modern aircraft carrier battle group , we must also expand more overseas footholds, whether it is naval bases or supply points. Without these logistical support, even nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be difficult to In order to continue, after all, to maintain long-term field duty, not only the nuclear reactor is needed, but also the supplement of daily necessities.
Therefore, the Chinese Navy still has huge room for development. The current scale is far from our limit, and it is not only large aircraft carriers, but also large destroyers, amphibious assault ships , amphibious landing ships , supply support ships, etc. The Chinese Navy needs more fresh blood. The current international situation is not friendly to China. The Western world, led by the United States, has identified China as a "systemic challenge", second only to Russia, its mortal enemy, in terms of danger. In the future, not only will the Chinese Navy's ocean strategy face many dangers, but even our coastal waters will be under tremendous pressure from the United States and the West. The Taiwan Strait is the most direct example.
Historical experience and lessons tell us that if we cannot build a strong army, no matter how much wealth we have, we will eventually be robbed. From China's "hundred years of humiliation" to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, without a strong army, the fate of the Chinese people can only be manipulated by Western powers.
Especially in the past 20 years, China's overseas interests have continued to increase, and the scope of the Belt and Road Initiative has gradually expanded. Many developing countries are very eager to have a responsible big country based on international law and universal values to provide Provide your own security. Therefore, even if it is to maintain world peace and international order, China must stand up, dare to be the first, and use practical actions to say "no" to Western hegemony. This requires us to continue to move forward steadily at the current pace, and the construction of aircraft carriers will inevitably begin to meet this demand.
