Recent remarks by two retired US Navy veterans, KHL Schustster and Keith Stewart, have cast a spotlight on China's latest aircraft carrier, the Fujen. Highlighting what they describe as "fatal flaws," these experts claim the vessel's combat capabilities are only about 60% of the renowned US Navy's Nimitz class, developed decades ago. These comments have triggered widespread debate, especially in China, prompting a deeper examination of the carrier's design, development process, and strategic implications.
