All Aboard the Future of Naval Power 🚢
President Xi Jinping on Wednesday joined top military officials at a naval port in Sanya city, Hainan Province, to commission the Chinese mainland's Fujian aircraft carrier. This sleek vessel is making waves as the first carrier on the Chinese mainland equipped with electromagnetic catapults, marking a big leap in naval technology.
