China's state media has released new images of its most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, showcasing its next-generation electro-magnetic catapult system. The domestically designed and built carrier is set to enhance China's naval capabilities with technology surpassing its predecessors, the Shandong and the Liaoning.
