In response to foreign media hyping that China's aircraft carrier Fujian cannot conduct simultaneous fighter jet takeoffs and landings, and an assertion by a retired US Navy captain that the Fujian's operational capability is only "about 60 percent" of the US Nimitz-class carrier, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said at a regular press conference on Thursday that the Fujian's combat capability will be demonstrated by facts, and he has no comment on such "sour-grape" claims.
