The first aircraft-carrier (domestic-built) is now in the development stage.

Wu Qian, a spokesman of Chinas Ministry of Defence said: «The overall design is completed and the main body has taken a shape in the dock. Equipment and facility installation is going on».

However, according to published photos some military experts mark the evident similarity of this new aircraft-carrier with the Soviet «Varyag», which was got and finished by Beijing after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union.
