TL;DR Summary

China's state media released new images of its most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, showcasing its next-generation electro-magnetic catapult system. The domestically designed and built carrier is set to enhance China's naval capabilities with technology surpassing its predecessors, the Shandong and the Liaoning. The Fujian, which has not yet conducted sea trials, will be equipped with an Electro-magnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) similar to that of the U.S. Ford-Class carriers, allowing for a broader range of aircraft launches. This development is part of China's military modernization efforts ahead of the PLA's 100th anniversary in 2027 amidst ongoing tensions with Taiwan.
