[quote=GEARBOX,344154]The aircraft carrier is paramount to the greatest influential tool any nation could have to promote its political will.  And yes, a nuclear arsenal may offer the strongest deterent, but it is a dooms day device that if used, all is lost for the entire world.  So the answer is yes, China is fast becoming a super power and hopefully a wise participant in world affairs.  Having an aircraft carrier parked 20 miles off your shores is indeed a tremendious message of the nations willingness to control or elevate the situation should the threat not be mitigated.  I see this as another, albeit, more forceful level of diplomacy that a nation needs to keep the world secure without resorting to all out conflict.  As for comments suggesting confrontation with the US, I believe that to be highly unlikely.  Both nations have too much in common and too much to lose should should that happen.  I see the use mainly for third world countries who pose an immediate threat to national or world safety.  And there are a few near China.[/quote]
