I want to know if the PLAN has developed technology that prevents the clothes dryer from catching fire every other load.

Doubt it, China is a superpower, not a hyperpower. It will be one of our last projects to undertake after the fully mature semiconductor stack and the manned mars landing... Final step of the PRC centenary in 2049.

The last one?

This is the last one. 157 Zhuhai.
5 more are expected to be commissioned this year leaving this last one for next year.

What follows 052D is unknown. More 052D? A slightly newer designed 052E? Or a hole new design 05X that builds a medium size DDG that fits between the 052D and the heavy 055. This means probably 80+ VLS cells, displacing 9000+ tons, new power plant, etc.

I think it will be a third option cause it doesn't make sense to conitnue to build more numbers of an old design that has no room for new technology and might become obsolete in the future. A new slate DDG to replace all the 052 family seems like the logical next step.

No I think production switches to 055. There won't be anymore on the 052 platform.

I think, based on what pop3 said, that there maybe an additional 9 Type 052D. It is probably no coincidence that the nine will fill up the remaining pennants (158, 159, 166, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 135).

After that, you may switch to the 055, or a new destroyer platform with IEPS as prime movers. The 055 will occupy the larger destroyer role, but a new lighter destroyer will take over the 052X role, which I think will have two GT and two induction motors as the prime movers, The new prime mover configuration will call for a new 05X number.

Thats the problem if somebody just want to buy a super cheap product $100 and wanted to have the same quality of $1,500

There is market for everything, you get what you pay for. Chinese products is everywhere, the cheap of the cheap or the medium to expensive one and the quality wise is top notch. I hardly seen any clothes dryer not made in China. I would take made in China product anytime for the similar price than EU or US or Japan products

Oddly enough, looks like that is Electrolux brand rather than a domestic brand…

Also looks like a regular household type machine rather than an industrial/commercial one. Is this some kind of officers’ laundry room? Maybe that’s why they also have those fancy hang up dryers?

Also, if anyone actually watched the video, there are some random (American) footballs, kind of an unusual choice for recreation.

How do these facilities compare to western navies or older ships?

Our China factory made super cheap products because the American buyers demanded that, we also make expensive quality peoduct because we are able to, as long as foreign mechandisers want to order.

If you are cheapskate and only want to buy cheap products, you get what you pay for.

Oops!, Sorry @antiterror13, above statement is not aimed at you. Just a response to Team Blue.
