January 27, 2022, USA: FILE DATE UNKNOWN: The F-35C Lightning II is the U.S. Navy s first low-observable carrier-based aviation platform. The F-35 is being purchased to replace the F/A-18C/D Hornet as the carrier strike group s primary offensive fighter for aerial defense and close air support. A race against time is under way for the US Navy to reach one of its downed fighter jets - before the Chinese get there first.

In today's interview, Liu explains why it is not always wise to follow the latest hypes and how the Chinese movie industry has changed.
