China is the second wealthiest nation on the planet (counting overall $$$). The reason that the former USSR can't mantain the same size/power carrier fleet that the USA maintains is simply that they cannot afford it. China can most definitely afford it at this point. China is the one most likely nation that could someday become equals to the USA militarily, within the foreseeable future. That doesn't make them equal yet, but having their own supercarrier (outdated or not) is a big step.
China could do a lot more to lessen the tensions that come from their push for military strength. It does indeed make many neighboring nations nervous. The key to China achieving their big dream of being "the most powerful nation in the world" is to be a lot more diplomatic and friendly with their neighbors.
