Is it me or is there always something negative to add or to diminish, turn down any achievement?
Not that I want to hype everything from China or that I only see it pink-coloured with sparkling unicorn flittering around ... but You simply cannot take one thing only as it is?

Or am I wrong?

On the contrary, I am looking forward to seeing Chinese multi carrier ops. And if you see my earlier posts in the last page, I always gives credit when it is obvious. And in this case, I am all but praises for the Chinese for mastering carrier ops. I will be even more excited to see their next level of achievement which even capable carrier nations like French are currently incapable of doing.
So yeah, you are wrong. But blame the internet for not being able to channel subtle emotions like anticipation without excessive use of the exclamation mark or caps,which I am not fond of using. Or without the exact words, which sometimes I forget or can't be bothered with (and defeats the whole point of subtlety anyway).
I for one am not going to take repeatedly to having to clarify my "supposedly nefarious or devious" intentions in every single post I make. So forgive me if my posts aren't literally oozing rainbows and ponies out of every single one of them.

That’s more to do with overall strategy and organisation rather than carrier airborne operations

There is no question however that formation sailing during dual carrier operations is another feat and one we can look forward too not sure if it’s higher than night opps though this is the icing on the cake

Multi carrier operations is more like a bling bling show that it is of skills, though it must also be said that a certain amount of competence is required to manage 2 separate air groups at the same time.
It shows that a nation is capable of fielding ships whose costs amounts to the entire defence budget of some sovereign nations on a regular basis. And not in small numbers either to project an air wing that exceeds the entire air force of some nations as well.
As far as prestige and skills goes, you can't get much further than that.

Adds it in for dramatic effect. CCTV loves to randomly speed up clips thinking it probably looks "cool".

CCTV/GT/CGTN should all really learn from RT where they upload uncommentated/unedited raw footage of just military doing their things and get millions of views.

Another video showing the complete landing of the J-15 that was cut short in the earlier one, which leaves no room for doubt of mere touch and go. This shows that the CV-16 is capable of conducting a proper air sortie at night, from launch to landing.

PLA Navy pilots complete night carrier landings

The carrier-borne fighter jet force of the People's Liberation Army Navy has made a huge leap toward gaining full combat capability, as its pilots have fulfilled night landings on the CNS Liaoning aircraft carrier.
The navy released video footage Thursday night showing J-15 fighter jets taking off and landing on the Liaoning, saying this is a major breakthrough in the carrier force's development. It did not elaborate.

Night landing on a carrier is much more difficult than landing during the day, because it challenges a pilot's skills and experience in addition to their psychological capability, experts explained, noting a carrier-borne fighter jet pilot must be able to carry out night landings before he or she gains around-the-clock operational certification.

Chinese pilots made their first day landing operations on a carrier in November 2012 on the Liaoning, currently the navy's sole carrier, which went into service in September that year.

Presently, dozens of J-15 pilots have become qualified to operate aboard the carrier in daytime, according to the navy.
