Reports have furthermore stated that the carrier will be ready to be sold to Pakistan by 2020. The reports claim that Pakistan is the ideal destination for the aircraft.
According to Chinese Navy strategists, Karachi and Gwadar are listed under ‘PLA Navy (PLAN) base’ and ‘logistics base’ respectively.
On the other hand, Liaoning is not the only military level carrier or vehicle China wants to sell to Pakistan. China wants to trade military weapons, warships, missiles, nuclear weapon technology and a lot more with Pakistan to benefit both countries.
