I don't know if force mag is normally authentic, but the stuff mentionned in the article seems to be fairly accurate from other articles.

China's GDP is probably 4th in the world after the recent 2004 readjustment+10% growth in 2005. GDP in PPP is 2nd in the world behind USA. It's rich enough.

amphibious warfare situation is improving with the recent induction of 072III and the 071 LPD that is currently under construction.

by the time the carrier is ready for operation sometimes next decade, there should be plenty of air defense destroyers following the lines of 052C. ASW is still uncertain.
