Global Times article hints at launch of 3rd Chinese aircraft carrier
A media outlet affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party has published an article hinting at the launch of a third Chinese naval aircraft carrier later this year.
The Global Times published the article on Saturday, the 73rd anniversary of the formation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.
It referred to a promotional video released by the navy on the progress of China's aircraft carrier program.
The video shows pilots and crew at work and outlines the progress the navy has made in the decade since it deployed its first carrier, the Liaoning, in 2012.
