SCMP: China’s new aircraft carrier, US expected to miss navy’s 70th anniversary fleet review
* Thirty-two Chinese warships and 39 aircraft will take part in naval parade in Yellow Sea on Tuesday, along with nearly 20 foreign vessels
* But home-grown carrier the Type 001A is not yet ‘combat ready’ and the Pentagon says it won’t send a warship
China’s navy will mark the 70th anniversary of its founding on Tuesday, but its new home-grown aircraft carrier is unlikely to take part in a multinational fleet review, military observers said.
The People’s Liberation Army Navy on Saturday announced that 32 Chinese warships and 39 aircraft would be part of the naval parade
in the Yellow Sea. They will be joined by nearly 20 foreign vessels from 10 countries, but the United States will not join the event this year.
The fleet review off the coast of Qingdao, Shandong province is expected to be the fifth military parade inspected by President Xi Jinping since he took the helm in late 2012.
