Terribly reminds me of the AIs in Civ

Probably photoshopped, and even if it isn't, it doesn't matter. The Varyag is only used for naval air flight training anyways (in the event that China does one day build/acquire a fleet carrier), so it doesn't matter where it is. It could be in the middle of Xinjiang, and it would still do its job rather nicely.

It's just a replica of the USS Nimitz that is its probably for show only.

Replica or for training purposes. That is the first thing that popped into my mind; additionally, it could very well be photoshopped.

 

[Tee Kay]

It's from Google Earth, and I looked and it wasn't photoshopped.

I'm going to need a more reliable source than "the Register" (which sounds like a tabloid) if I'm going to believe this isn't fake.

Check Google Earth, near Dianshan Hu, WSW of Shanghai.

Ok then. It's most likely a replica for tourism purposes; hell, it's probably a damned restaurant with a kick-ass gimmick.

Just a museum replica of some sort. Nothing more.

I'd like to imagine that it's a restaurant.

Nice find.

Google Earth is not a source.

The most eccentric, absurd assertion is a "cement aircraft carrier" or simply a concrete-made vessel constructed on the picturesque"Dianshan Lake" in the outlying Qingpu district on outskirts of Shanghai, which was erected solely for sightseers.

There we go, a very simple explanation.

China using cIV AI?

Im pretty sure it's a russian carrier, converted to amusement park/museum.

I think they dug a canal and towed it into that lake and then filled it.

Yarrrr..

Already did, ye landlobber.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

The only Chinese-owned Russian carrier I'm aware of is Varyag, which is running, but cannot be refitted for battle.

Eventhough i have to say China is neither our enemy or friend but simply our competitor that can in relatively short amount of time can build carriers faster than us if the economic trend continues with some already increasing military budget in the future.
