I'm supposed to believe that the Chinese have developed nuclear weapons but cant figure out how to land planes on ships which is something that has been done for 75 years?

That entire article smells like propaganda and considering the source not surprising.
carrier landings are a dicey proposition. our guys make it look easy. many other countries still don't have the capability to fight at night. what we take for granted, others take as sci fi.

there are 21 carriers extent. we have 11 of them
