It is simply irresponsible to assume one's age by his/her look. You have absolutely no evidence when assuming this guy is "too young to command such big ship". Not a thread of evidence. All your argument and judgement came from an image of an un-identified Chinese naval officer who "looks young". That's irresponsible to say the least.
I am 42 but many think I am in my late 20's because how young I look. I am a professor but many think I am a student and are shocked to learn that I am professor. "Oh! You can't be! You look so young! You must be a genius!" No I am not! I just look young. It's simply ridiculous.
So stop this nonsense unless you have actual data showing Chinese officer corps is younger than those of other navies.
It is what it is, PLAN is relatively young and developing fast, so if its officers are young, it is just the fact, accept it. Is it a bad thing? Not necessarily. It is just like most startup companies pretty much always have younger officers than traditional companies, is it bad? No, not at all!

It may as well be. I have no position on good/bad of a young officer corps.
I however have a huge problem with people making conclusions based on inconclusive evidence. To this day, we have absolutely no evidence one way or another. A single imagine of an unidentified officer simply holds no water whatsoever. How can you make a sweeping conclusion on a group composed of tens of thousands of people, simply based om a single image of ONE person? Absurd!
Let's not be too presumptuous and assume that anyone who's served in the military is necessarily well informed about all aspects of military matters, nor should we assume that they are even able to approach issues in a sensible and logical manner.

I'm not well informed about all military matters. Mainly I'm versed in USN & USMC Naval Aviation. Particularly aircraft carrier flight deck operations and shipboard ordnance handling/loading..
And if I make a mistake I admit it, correct myself and move on.
..and I sincerely hope that you are not referring to me.
I'm not referring to you.
I'm partly referring to Janiz in this case if he did indeed serve in the military, but also kind of more generally joking about how important it is to understand that people who seemingly have a background of experience and expertise in one area may not be a logical or sensible person in other domains or indeed in general common sense matters.
