可惜还没有命名
China launched its first aircraft carrier for a maiden run on Wednesday, a
step likely to boost patriotic pride at home and jitters abroad about
Beijing's naval ambitions.
The long-awaited debut of the vessel, a refitted former Soviet craft, marked
a step forward in China's long-term plan to build a carrier force that can
project power into the Asian region, where seas are spanned by busy shipping
lanes and thorny territorial disputes.
"Its symbolic significance outweighs its practical significance," said Ni
Lexiong, an expert on Chinese maritime policy at the Shanghai University of
Political Science and Law.
"We're already a maritime power, and so we need an appropriate force,
whether that's aircraft carriers or battleships, just like the United States
or the British empire did," he said in a telephone interview.
The carrier "left its shipyard in Dalian Port in north-east Liaoning
province on Wednesday morning to start its first sea trial," said the
official Xinhua news agency, describing the trip as a tentative test run for
the unfinished ship.
The aircraft carrier, which is about 300 metres long, ploughed through fog
and sounded its horn three times as it left the dock, Xinhua said on its
military news microblog.
Xinhua said that "building a strong navy that is commensurate with China's
rising status is a necessary step and an inevitable choice for the country
to safeguard its increasingly globalised national interests".
Chinese citizens said the carrier launch showed their country deserved more
respect from the rest of the world, despite problems it faces at home.
A high-speed train crash last month left many Chinese people bemoaning what
they called officials' reckless hunger for passing technological milestones.
"An aircraft carrier is the mark of major powers," Pan Chunli, a 29-year-old
IT technician in Beijing told Reuters.
"China has grown dramatically. The whole world should take a fresh look at
China, viewing it as a rising power that it has the ability to defend its
rights and territory."
Prestige and power
Last month China confirmed that it was refitting the old, unfinished Soviet
carrier hull bought from Ukraine's government, and sources told Reuters it
was also building two of its own carriers.
"China has had a longstanding fascination with the national prestige
attached to aircraft carriers, and this first sea trial may be seen as a
crucial step towards the goal of achieving great naval power status," said
Chengxin Pan, an expert on China at Deakin University in Melbourne.
If Beijing is serious about having a viable carrier strike group, however,
it will need three carriers, Ashley Townshend at the Lowy Institute for
International Policy in Sydney said before the debut of the vessel.
China would also have to develop support ships and aircraft for any carrier
group, Mr Townshend said.
In China's neighbourhood, India and Thailand already have aircraft carriers,
and Australia has ordered two multi-purpose carriers. The United States
operates 11 carriers.
Before the launch, a Pentagon spokesman played down the likelihood of any
immediate leaps from China's carrier program. US experts on the Chinese navy
agreed.
"A newly wed couple wants a 'starter home', a new great power wants a '
starter carrier'," Andrew Erickson of the US Naval War College and Gabriel
Collins, a security analyst, wrote in a note about the carrier launch.
"China's 'starter carrier' is of very limited military utility, and will
primarily serve to confer prestige on a rising great power, to help the
military master basic procedures, and to project a bit of power," they wrote.
Longstanding dispute
But the carrier is just one part of China's naval modernisation drive, which
has forged ahead while other powers tighten their military budgets to cope
with debt woes.
"For many neighbours, [China's carrier] may symbolise something different
and more unsettling," said Mr Pan.
"It is inevitable that neighbouring countries will react with some alarm,
especially given recent disputes in the South China Sea as well as the
maritime incident between China and Japan last year," he said.
China has been building new submarines, ships and anti-ship ballistic
missiles as part of its naval modernisation.
The country's growing reach at sea is triggering regional jitters that have
fed into longstanding territorial disputes, and could speed up military
expansion across Asia.
In the past year, China has had run-ins at sea with Japan, Vietnam and the
Philippines. The incidents - boat crashes and charges of territorial
incursions - have been minor, but the diplomatic fallout often heated.
