两岸圆桌派|高志凯、蔡正元：“福建舰”入列，标志着中国人在海上也站起来了

Core Viewpoint - The commissioning of China's first electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, "Fujian," marks a significant milestone for the People's Navy, officially entering the era of three aircraft carriers [1]. Group 1: Technological Advancements - "Fujian" utilizes electromagnetic catapult technology, which is currently the most advanced in the world, surpassing the capabilities of the U.S. [3][8]. - The U.S. has struggled with electromagnetic catapult technology, leading to discussions of reverting to traditional steam catapults, which are no longer produced by any active companies [3][8]. - The "Fujian" carrier is designed for deep-sea missions rather than coastal operations, indicating a shift in naval strategy [5]. Group 2: Military Implications - The entry of "Fujian" into service is seen as a strong signal to both Taiwan and the U.S., emphasizing China's growing military capabilities [2][5]. - The carrier's capabilities are not specifically aimed at Taiwan but are part of a broader military strategy that includes deterrence against the U.S. [5][10]. - The commissioning of "Fujian" is expected to increase pressure on Taiwan's pro-independence factions, as it symbolizes China's military advancements [16][19]. Group 3: Strategic Context - The U.S. acknowledges that its naval shipbuilding capacity is significantly lower than China's, with estimates suggesting a ratio of 1 to 267 in terms of ship production capabilities [7][8]. - The development of "Fujian" and future carriers, including a nuclear-powered one, positions China to potentially outmatch U.S. naval forces in both technology and operational capacity [8][12]. - The military advancements are intended to convey a message to the U.S. that any conflict would not favor American forces, reinforcing the notion of "inevitable peace" between China and the U.S. [12][13].
