(the last paragraph: "海军军事学术研究所研究员、海军大校李杰对媒体表示，中国
可以制造巨型油轮，“但大型军舰的钢板设计、飞行甲板技术以及船体的抗盐碱度等技
术，还不能完全满足制造航母的要求")
My comment: There is no need ot read the rest, for there is nothing new.
Compared with
中国首次证实建造航空母舰计划
http://www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/simp
/chinese_news/2011/07/110727_china_carrier.shtml
, it is news only because 中国国防部发言人耿雁生 confirmed its existence.

("In an air war over Taiwan, hundreds of miles from most Chinese bases, only
those 50 fighters would be able to spend more than a few minutes’ flight
time over the battlefield. Factoring in tankers, China’s four-to-one
advantage in jet fighters compared to Taiwan actually shrinks to a roughly
seven-to-one disadvantage. The gap only grows when you add U.S. fighters to
the mix")

(section 2.2 Aerial refuelling versions, includng Xian HY-6U, where HY-6
stands for Hongzhaji You 油-6)
(b) The article mentions a bunch names, who are obviously authors of papers
that appear in Chinese Aerospace Power.
