Agree with you
What a dayThank you my friend, I heard Turkey building a LHD too. Wish all the best for your navy
LHD is one of the Key for Power Projection in far seas
And here a video of its launch
If we look closer, in the right side there is Second Type 054AP Frigate for Pakistani Navy

Does China currently have an active(which is may shown soon) STOVL jet project for such platforms? Because when we look at the future projections of the Chinese navy in open sources, we see that many LHD platforms are planned to be put into service in the near future. We have heard in recent years that China has shown interest in some Yakovlev projects and even started indigenous projects following its own research activities. What are the latest developments in this area?Agree with you

What a beauty
Of course, they are already working on Development of STOVL Naval Jet Project

Chinese Aerospace Industry Started Research on a STOVL Naval Jet Project
According to China Daily, China's aviation industry is working on the development of aircraft with short takeoff and vertical landing capabilities needed for an important role in the Chinese navy's future operations, military experts said. "Research and development on components of STOVL aircraft, such as the engine, have started," Wang Ya'nan, deputy editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told China Daily.

"Research and development on components of STOVL aircraft, such as the engine, have started," Wang Ya'nan, deputy editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told China Daily.

"The aircraft's principles are not new. They have been known for more than 40 years, so our aircraft designers should be able to develop the plane on their own," Wang said.
In late March, the Aviation Industry Corp of China, the country's leading aircraft maker, announced on its website that two of its subsidiaries - AVIC Chengdu Engine Group and China Aviation Engine Establishment - have signed a cooperation agreement on the development of the STOVL aircraft's engine. The statement said the STOVL aircraft project aims to strengthen the People's Liberation Army navy's amphibious combat capability and address the absence of such a weapon in the PLA's arsenal.
Compared with conventional fixed-wing aircraft, a STOVL plane can be readied for action in a shorter period of time and occupies less space in a hangar bay or on the deck of a ship. These features have made it a popular choice for naval powers since late 1960s, when Britain's subsonic Hawker Siddley Harrier became the first STOVL aircraft to be put in service.
Almost all STOVL aircraft in active service are based on the Harrier design, and they form the backbone of the naval forces of India and Spain.
This move is not the first time China has aimed to build a STOVL aircraft. In the late 1960s, the PLA asked the aircraft institutes to develop a fixed-wing plane capable of vertical takeoff and landing. The project was later abandoned due to technical difficulties.
The PLA also tried to buy the Hawker Siddley Harrier in the late 1970s, but dropped the attempt because of cost, according to Western military observers.
This time, AVIC appears to have made the right decision at the right time as the PLA navy now needs a STOVL aircraft because it will "significantly supplement and improve its amphibious capabilities", Wang said.
"Though the PLA navy now has an aircraft carrier - the CNS Liaoning - it still lacks the experience of developing and manufacturing such a sophisticated naval platform, so there won't be more carriers in the short term," Wang said. "Let's assume that a conflict breaks out between China and another nation in the near future; the PLA navy's limited number of carrier-borne fighter jets, the J-15s, would have to engage in long-distance strikes as well as air defense for the carrier battle group, and they would have to be divided into small groups to perform these tasks simultaneously."
If China had STOVL aircraft, they could be deployed on the CNS Liaoning and other ships to defend against incoming enemy aircraft, relieving the burden on the J-15s, which could then focus on long-range operations, Wang said.
"Actually, in the foreseeable future, I don't see a high probability of China's involvement in a war far from its shores. Being dragged into limited amphibious conflicts in or near our territorial waters would be more likely. The STOVL aircraft will be the best choice for air support in such conflicts," Wang said, noting that it would be a perfect match for China's future amphibious assault ships.

Of course, the third will start immediately after the second one launched.
The Navy planning 8 unit for this type bro, crazy
More Type 075s are expected to be built and eventually to the same number as the Type 071, as the two types of amphibious ships can form powerful landing fleets that are much more powerful in safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity, the report predicted.

Yes, Chinese building this kind very fast.
I'm shock too, they can finish a 40,000 Tonnes LHD with only 6 months (Keel laying to Launching) Damn !
For example, US need 3 years (from Keel laying to Launching) America class, yes I know they little heavier. But the timespan is very contrast.
That's mean If China want, they can build 6 Type 075 LHD (40,000 Tonnes) in the same amount of time.
And if both countries open second production line. That's mean, in 3 years.
US can build 2 unit america Class (45,000 tonnes), meanwhile
China can build 12 Unit Type 075 LHD (40,000 Tonnes)
Crazy ! Chinese Industrial Capability never fail to amazed me
