India also has 2 aircraft carriers.
Australia also has 2.
US is operating 10 - 19 aircraft carriers.
Asia Pacific region will no longer be a safe place.
It will be crowded with aircraft carriers - all vying for the crowded sea spaces in Asia Pacific.
Thus, human mankind is closer and closer to WW3.

Liaoning should be deploying J31 stealth fighters to rival the F35Bs.
J15s are not stealth fighters - and will be vulnerable to radar tracking CIWS (Closed in Weapon Systems) or Ship-to-Air missiles.

To complement Liaoning, DF-21 carrier killers will be deployed to keep other carriers at least 1,000 km away from the mainland.
While Liaoning can be used to project its airpower beyond the mainland - such as West Pacific to meet the US fleet or further down south to counter the Australia fleet or India fleet.

Thus there won't be any winners - if Asia Pacific break out into an all-out-war.
Many will be pull into a fight ---- and at the end of the day - mass extinction of human mankind will happen in this modern era warfare.
So why escalate tension?
Why arm-race?
Why focus on competition and hostility?
Why not focus on collaboration, cooperation, business, trade - and how to bring wealth and prosperity to each Countries and distribute income fairly so that everyone benefit - and see no point in fighting?
