The Telegraph newspaper was surprised by the sudden appearance of the newest Chinese stealth fighter on the oldest aircraft carrier in China. It wondered whether Beijing intends to deploy Shenyang J-35 aircraft on board these old aircraft carriers, which are newer and much larger.

The newspaper believed that this development may complicate the American naval war plans, due to the need to take into account the increasing capacity of the growing Chinese aircraft carrier fleet. The Chinese navy at present does not have, compared to the 11 aircraft carriers of the American Navy, only two, They are the Liaoning and her slightly improved sister Shandong.
